Ballestas Islands: Wildlife Haven of Paracas

The desolate desert coast of Peru may seem void of large wildlife until you take to the sea. Coastal reserves and tiny islands support remarkable marine diversity. Everything from sea lions to penguins come to a pinnacle on the Ballestas Islands, offering one of the best wildlife-spotting experiences in the country. The collection of rocky islands is a short boat ride from Paracas (an area also known for the famous Paracas National Reserve ) and home to marine creatures such as Humboldt penguins, Guanay cormorants, and sea lions.

Overview Wildlife History Traveler Info Tour Planning

The Ballestas Islands (officially called Islas Ballestas ) is the leading attraction that draws the majority of visitors to Paracas. Ideal conditions created by the Humboldt Current enable the animal inhabitants of the Ballestas and the nearby Paracas Peninsula to thrive. The cold current pulls up water from the ocean floor, bringing both lower temperatures and nutrients to the surface. These conditions create an ideal feeding zone for fish, consequently drawing larger predators.

National Reserve

The Ballestas Islands are not within the Paracas National Reserve. Instead, they belong to the Guano Islands, Islets, and Capes National Reserve System or La Reserva Nacional Sistema de Islas, Islotes, y Puntas Guaneras . This expansive Peruvian reserve includes the guano islands like the Ballestas and their ecosystems all along the coast from Tacna to Piura. Special legislation within the reserve permits guano mining with restrictions.

Ballestas Islands Wildlife

Roaring sea lions and squawking birds join the crashing waves in a noisy symphony, while the sheer number of creatures make you rub your eyes in wonder. With some luck, you may spot pods of dolphins or migrating whales.

Colonies of Sea Lions and Seals

Basking in the sunlight, swimming for fish, and occasionally performing for tour boats, chocolate-colored South American sea lions are among the most charismatic residents of the Ballestas Islands. Males are huge, with giant, maned heads reminiscent of lions, and can weigh up to 770 pounds (350 kg). Females are about half the size and weight.

Also inhabiting the islands are South American fur seals . Gray or tan and smaller than sea lions, fur seals prefer to lounge on rocky shores where cliffs provide shaded areas. Females are much smaller and typically weigh between 65 and 130 pounds (30 and 60 kg). Male South American fur seals weigh up to 440 pounds (200 kg).

Calving and breeding season in Paracas is from January to March for sea lions and from October to December for fur seals. During these months, cute pups abound, and territorial adult males belch out roars to protect their harems and fend off potential rivals.

Seabirds Galore

The sheer number of bird species found nesting on steep rock surfaces and flying between islands makes the Ballestas a top spot for birding in Peru . Highlighted below are captivating birds you can observe during a tour.

Guanays are easy to distinguish from other cormorants because they have red circles around their eyes and white bellies. Guanay cormorants were the largest producer of guano, valuable bird manure used as a fertilizer, which during the 19th century was the primary national income for Peru. Learn about the fascinating guano trade and how it impacted Peruvian islands like the Ballestas in the History section below.

Humboldt penguins only populate the coast of Peru and northern Chile. Living up to twenty years, these penguins eat anchovies, herring, and other fish.

Inca terns have a dark gray body with a distinct white mustache on either side of their orange-red beak.

Kelp gulls , also known as Dominican gulls, are the largest seagulls in the Ballestas Islands. Their bills are yellow with a red dot underneath, a marking different from other species of gulls in the islands.

Peruvian boobies are year-round residents of the Ballestas Islands and close cousins with blue-footed boobies that inhabit the Galapagos Islands .

Peruvian pelicans can be found up and down the coast of Peru and live in the Ballestas Islands. The throat pouch is blue, unlike that of the brown pelican whose throat pouch is olive-green to red in the breeding season.

History of Ballestas Islands

Guano mining.

Since time immemorial, seabirds have deposited their guano on the Ballestas Islands and other isles of Peru. And since the time of the Incas, this guano has been used as a fertilizer. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, guano became a valuable global commodity and mined extensively on Peruvian islands. Peru stuffed its coffers, but the delicate ecosystem that sustained the seabird population suffered significant damage.

Protecting Guano Islands

In 1909, the Guano Administration Company ( Compañía Administradora del Guano ) was created to restore the guano bird population, protect the natural environment, and manage extraction. By the mid-1900s, the wide availability of synthetic fertilizers diminished the importance of guano.

Guano, some say, used to cover the isles in layers of 65 to 230 feet (20 to 70 m) deep. Today, the guano is much thinner. Mining is limited to three months as part of protective measures enacted to avoid further disruption of the seabird ecosystem.

In 1975, the Paracas National Reserve was established to protect the marine ecosystem and remains of indigenous Paracas Culture on the mainland of the Paracas Peninsula. Later, in 2009, the Reserva Nacional Sistema de Islas, Islotes y Puntas Guaneras was created to protect the Ballestas Islands and other Peruvian isles guarding representative samples of rich and diverse Humboldt current ecosystems.

Today, more than 150,000 people per year (MINCETUR, 2018) visit the Ballestas Islands, making it a top attraction of the southern coast of Peru. In the summer months, weekend vacationers from Lima appreciate the sunshine and seafood specialties.

Traveler Info

Best time to visit.

Paracas is a popular getaway for travelers as well as city residents of Lima. Mild annual temperatures (60-80°F | 18-27°C) and minimal rainfall make Paracas and the Ballestas Islands year-round destinations. Also, different seasons bring various wildlife highlights to the islands. The peak season for the region is during summer (December through February), Easter Week (or Semana Santa ), and dates around Peru’s Independence Day (or Fiestas Patrias ) every 28th and 29th of July.

In and Around Paracas

El Chaco, otherwise known as the “town of Paracas,” rests on the southern shores of the bay and is the departure point for Ballestas boat tours and land excursions on the Paracas Peninsula. El Chaco is only 10 miles (16 km) south of the town of Pisco and its small airport.

How to Get to the Ballestas Islands

Boat tours begin and end in El Chaco. Paracas is about 155 miles (250 km) south of Lima along the Panamerican Highway. Daily bus service connects the capital and Paracas along a direct route that takes around four hours. In some cases, buses go as far as Pisco from where you can catch a safe taxi, Uber, or local bus for the short transfer to El Chaco.

Ballestas Islands Entry Fee

Entry to the national reserve that protects the Ballestas Islands is 11 soles per adult. Sometimes the fee is included in the cost of your guided tour.

Where to Stay

The small fishing village turned tourism hub of El Chaco is a comfortable spot to base your exploration for a few nights. Restaurants and local shops are within short walking distance, and our travel experts can arrange convenient hotel pick-up for your daily guided tours. For an extra treat, enjoy one of the classy bayfront hotels in Paracas .

Motion Sickness

Travelers prone to seasickness will benefit from taking a remedy to prevent seasickness or reduce symptoms. There is no way to avoid at least a little rocking motion during a Ballestas boat tour, even during the morning when the ocean is usually calmer.

What to Pack

Travel comfortably to the Ballestas Islands with the following items:

• Windbreaker or light jacket to protect against chilly winds
• Poncho or hat to keep off potential bird droppings
• Camera with zoom
• Seasickness remedy
• Life vests provided by the boat tour provider

Ballestas Islands Tours

Boat tours to the Ballestas Islands depart from El Chaco and last around two hours . Bilingual guides tell you about the animal species, as well as the mysterious shape etched into the side of a cliff along the coast, known as the Candelabro , that you pass during the outbound journey.

Buy a ticket for a tour in El Chaco or contact our travel experts to organize a fun Ballestas tour as part of your custom trip to Peru.

Group Vs. Private Boat Tour

Group tours to the Ballestas depart from the main pier in El Chaco. Daily tours start at 8 am, and the last departure is generally at 10 am or 10:30 am. Later in the afternoon, the ocean is usually too rough, so there are no tours. Occupancy varies though speedboat tours tend to be more crowded during peak southern hemisphere summer months from December to mid-March.

Private Ballestas boat tours are recommended for a more intimate experience or if you are planning a one-day getaway from Lima. Although more pricey, booking a private tour offers more flexible departure times around your itinerary and additional one-on-one time with your guide to answer all your wildlife inquiries.

Ballestas Islands Tour Combos

If you are visiting the Ballestas Islands, then you’re already heading to Paracas and have the opportunity to maximize your discovery of the country’s desert coast. Base yourself at a Paracas hotel and plan excursions to view the mysterious ancient glyphs in a plane, go sandboarding around an oasis, or sample Peruvian pisco and wine in the countryside.

Ballestas Island and Paracas National Reserve Tour

Snap photos galore during a morning tour through the Ballestas and then turn to an on-land adventure to the neighboring national reserve encompassing the Paracas Peninsula. Miles of stunning coastline and the ancient burial grounds of the Paracas culture are all part of the full Paracas experience .

Ballestas Islands Tour from Lima

Plan a day trip from Lima to the Ballestas Islands and close-by attractions. This whirlwind itinerary involves a lot of drive time (around 6 hours roundtrip from Lima), but it’s a great way to check out the country’s southern coast highlights if your time is limited. Ask our team for more details about the best transport and Paracas tour planning for your custom-made vacation.

Ballestas Islands and Nazca Lines Tours

Discover the Ballestas Islands and take to the sky on a flyover tour of the Nazca Lines . There is a small airport in the town of Pisco, just north of El Chaco, which is where flights over the mysterious glyphs takeoff and save you the 3.5-hour drive to Nazca where tours also depart.

A common way to combine these tours together is to arrive in Pisco, embark on a Nazca Lines flight, and then check-in to a hotel in Paracas for the night. After your Nazca Lines tour , visit the Ballestas and enjoy the Paracas region before traveling onward by bus to your next destination in Peru .

Ballestas Islands and Pisco Tour

Pair a wine tour in the Ica Valley with the Ballestas. About 1.5 hours from El Chaco, just outside the town of Ica, local vineyards called bodegas are the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Swirl, smell and sip a variety of wines as well as Peru’s famed clear brandy with a potent taste, pisco .

Ballestas Islands and Huacachina Oasis

Tucked away in the dunes is the oasis of Huacachina, the hub for the best sandboarding in Peru. Match your wildlife tour of the Ballestas with an adrenaline-pumping dune buggy ride and sandboarding tour.

Ballestas Islands, Peru: Tours + Tips for Visiting This Wildlife-Filled Gem

The Ballestas Islands (or the Islas Ballestas) are a little-known gem off the Peruvian coast. Off the coast of Paracas, they’re filled with birds and wildlife. But are the Ballestas Islands worth it? Read the full guide.

Ah, The Ballestas Islands. Situated in the south of Peru , if you’ve heard of them, you’ve probably also heard their less than flattering nickname of “the poor man’s Galapagos”.

It can be all too easy to skip through your travels in Peru in a mad rush to get to the big sights. Machu Picchu , Cusco , Lima and the Amazon can be so high up on traveller’s bucket lists that they leave little time to see lesser-known places and destinations.

Peru’s southern coast and its surrounds can feel a little out of the way but boast a number of interesting finds. Perhaps none more so than the Ballestas Islands.

Are the Ballestas Islands Worth Visiting? 

“The Poor Man’s Galapagos”. Doesn’t sound that appealing right? It’s the kind of moniker that makes you question whether a visit to the Ballestas Islands is worth it.

My answer is yes: a visit to the Ballestas’ wealth of bird and sea life is a unique experience that shouldn’t be missed if you are in the region.

Looking for a Ballestas Island Tour? You can book this one online, which comes with a bilingual Spanish and English tour guide. 

Where are the Ballestas Islands in Peru and Why Should I Visit?

If you’d asked me to list what I knew about the Ballestas Islands before my most recent trip to South America, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you a thing. Maybe a vague recollection that they were off the coast of Peru and… no that was totally it.

After my trip, I’d say that the Ballestas Islands are one of the most accessible ways to see some of the diverse ecosystem of South America’s islands. You should 100% add them to your Peru itinerary.

As the Ballestas Islands are only located 12 miles off the Peruvian coast, they can easily be seen on a day trip (in fact, you’re not allowed to disembark onto the islands, so a boat tour is the only way to see them).

So what to expect from a Ballestas Islands tour? If you’re into birds, want to see penguins and sea lions galore, with the odd chance of catching sight of a turtle or killer whale you should make the trip out to the Ballestas Islands.

Any trip to the Ballestas mainly involves circling close to the shores and getting up-close-and-personal with the wildlife that calls these islands their home.

While you’re in the area, make sure you also stop off in Ica, the home of Peruvian Pisco.

Ballestas Islands Tours

Ballestas Islands Tours From Lima 

You could incorporate a trip to the Ballestas Islands into a day trip to Paracas from Lima but you should bear in mind that the latest boats leave Paracas to go to the Ballestas at around 10.30am.

Paracas is a four-hour drive from Lima, so it would mean a very early start. Still worth considering if you are really short on time. 

Top Tip: If you are going from Lima, your best option is to take an organised tour .

Ballestas Island Tours From Paracas 

Tours to the Ballestas Islands normally leave from the small fishing town of Paracas (or nearby Pisco).We travelled to Paracas by an ordinary bus, but I wish we’d booked on to the Peru Hop hop-on-hop-off bus , it would have made life easier.

Boats depart from Paracas twice in the morning at 8.30am and 10.30am. The afternoon sun and choppy waters can make afternoon trips pretty difficult.

I’d been tipped off that the 8.30am trip was generally the better option because the waters were calmer and the sun less intense (it was peak Peruvian summer and the sun, while welcome, was very much present) – they were right.

So we dutifully climbed aboard our speedboat just after breakfast and set off for the islands.

There’s a variety of tours available.  If you want a really private experience, you can charter a boat and private guide to take you over to the islands.

We opted to pay $29 (around 95 Peruvian Soles) for a speedboat of eight people with a light breakfast and refreshments included.

We passed a few boats that were pretty jam-packed with punters struggling for space on the hot decks, which made me glad we’d decided to spend a bit more on the tour but the end-point is the same however you get there right?

Pretty much as soon as we started the motor and navigated our way out of the harbour, we were joined by these playful fellows…

It was the first time I’d ever seen dolphins in the wild and to be honest, I was so excited (so much so that there was a mildly hairy moment where I almost fell in trying to crane over for one last picture – facepalm).

The two dolphins bubbled up to the surface and splashed alongside the boat for a few minutes before disappearing off to find more interesting sport.

As soon as he was sure they were gone, our captain hit the throttle and we started bumping our way across the waves at high speed (definitely a part where you should make sure you are sitting down). Also, take nausea tablets if you are prone to seasickness – it can be quite choppy.

What Wildlife Will You Encounter on Your Ballestas Islands Trip?

20 minutes later, we spotted our first glimpse of the islands. Small dots on the horizon turned into large rocky outcrops as we got closer.

Birds 

The increasing number of birds overhead gave us a preview of what was to come – by the time we pulled up next to the first island there were thousands overhead and perched on almost every part of available land.

The guide pointed out Pelicans, boobies, terns and cormorants before we spotted our very first Humboldt penguin (an endangered species), quickly followed by several more.

There are over 150 species of marine and migratory birds in the Ballestas Islands, including the Peruvian booby, the Inca tern, with its distinctive red bill and white mustache, and the Guanay cormorant, which is crucial to the local guano industry.

That’s all before you get to the uber-cute Humboldt Penguins – the Ballestas are one of the few places you can see them in their natural habitat. 

Marine Mammals 

We circled the larger islands, and smaller outcrops getting as close as possible so the captain and guide could point out all of the things that would have been all too easy to miss.

There was no mistaking the sea lions dotted all over the rocks – though many of them were grouped together on low-lying shores, from time to time we’d see a loner perched on a higher spot basking in the sun (or keeping a weather eye for their next meal depending on how you wanted to look at it).

Seals are less common but also inhabit the islands. As I mentioned, if you get your timing right, you can see dolphins too. 

Marine Life 

I’ll forgive you if you are so busy focusing on the wildlife above the water that you forget the wildlife underwater. The Humboldt Current flowing past the islands guarantees a rich marine life that includes fish, starfish, sea urchins, octopuses and even sharks.

A Quick History of the Islas Ballestas 

The islands played a large role in Peru’s booming guano industry during the 19th century (guano for those not in the know is bird poop). Apparently, when they first started harvesting guano from the islands it was covered in a layer of guano 9 metres deep!

Even now, the distinctive two-tone colouring of the islands comes from the years of accumulated guano that have leached into the rocks and bleached them white.

Additional Attractions in the Paracas Natural Reserve: Visiting The Candelabra

After an hour, it was time to start the journey back to Paracas, but not without a last stop at The Candelabra geoglyph.

Like the nearby Nazca lines, no-one is entirely sure about the Candelabra’s history and who created it. People think it might be the same or similar tribes (or aliens depending on who you ask) responsible for the Nazca Lines but no-one actually knows.

The sheltered position and relative windlessness of the site have meant the Candelabra has been preserved in near-perfect condition over the years.

You can only really appreciate the sheer scale of the geoglyph from a distance (it’s over 180 metres tall), so most tours stop off on the way to or from the Ballestas Islands.

Before I knew it, we were stepping back onto terra firma. Though the trip had only taken just over two hours, it was a real eye-opener and a wonderful chance to see more birdlife and sea-life than I’d thought possible in a few hours. Not so bad for the poor man’s Galapagos indeed.

Practical Information for Visiting the Ballestas Islands, Peru

Overall we spent around 1 hour bobbing around the Ballestas during which the guide told us about the history of the islands and their importance to Peru. 

How to Get to the Ballestas Islands from Paracas?

Tours to the Ballestas islands leave from Pisco and Paracas. You can also book tours (including a bus transfer) from Huacachina, Ica or a full day trip from Lima.

When’s the Best Time to Visit the Ballestas Islands? 

Choosing the right time to visit the Ballestas Islands can make or break your experience. Although it’s tough to say with 100% certainty when you should time your visit, there are some factors you can take into account to increase your chances of a successful trip. 

Weather wise, The Ballestas Islands have a desert climate with minimal rainfall. That said, they’re often covered by the “garua” sea mist – particularly in the winter months of June to September. Boats still head out on misty days but it might obscure your view. Between December and March is the sunniest time of the year. 

Most of the species of wildlife that call the Ballestas home can be found year-round – including the Peruvian pelicans, Inca terns, and Humboldt penguins. If, however, you want to see baby sea lions, time your visit for the breeding season which is usually in January and February. 

It’s worth noting that December to March are the high season in Peru so you can expect more crowds. Go in the shoulder seasons (April to June or September to November)  if you want fewer tourists and generally good weather.

Are the Ballestas Islands Worth It?

Definitely yes. The Ballestas might not boast the huge variety of nature of the Galapagos, but a trip comes at a fraction of the price and is a real highlight in southern Peru.

What company did you use for your trip boat trip to the Ballestas Islands? I’ve had a look on-line but can’t seem to find a small group tour – I’d rather pay the extra but would prefer the security of booking before we go. Thankyou

Hi Sue – I booked through the Hotel Paracas, I’m sure if you send them an email they can let you know. I’d definitely recommend them as the boat was smaller than the others we saw and the guide was brilliant. They pickup from the Hotel Paracas pier. Hope that helps – enjoy your trip!

Sounds super exciting. Penguins in Peru, who would have thought? Thanks for the inspiration Julianna, glad I stumbled upon this post 🙂

A real pleasure – I know, sounds crazy right! I hope you make it there, such a cool trip.

Paracas, Peru: The Official Information Website

Ballestas Islands

Located about 10km off the coast of Paracas, the Ballestas Islands are a group of small rock formations which act as a sanctuary for large populations of native birds and marine animals. The wildlife on the Ballestas Islands is so abundant and diverse that they are often referred to as the “Peruvian Galápagos”. Here are just some of the creatures that you can see on a trip to the Ballestas Islands: Humboldt penguins, sea wolves, humpback whales, guanay, marine otters, pelicans, and Peruvian boobies. The Ballestas Islands are a definite must-visit stop for all nature lovers!

Tour information

• Stop to see the ‘Candelabro’, a mesmerizing drawing over the sand in the National reserve

Ballestas Islands tour itinerary

The tour has two schedules at 8:00 am and 10:00 am and both last around 2 hours. Once in the port, you will depart with a speed boat towards the islands. The first ride lasts 30 minutes and there is a stop to see the ‘Candelabro’ which is a natural formation over the sand in the National reserve. The guide will explain a little bit about its meaning and then head to continue to reach the islands.

The boat will be floating around for 1 hour allowing you to get to see some animals in their natural environment. The guide will be in charge of talking about the history and the importance of these islands while you appreciate the amazing views. After the tour, you will head back to the port in a 30-minute ride.

Recommendations

• The climate is most of the time sunny so light clothes will be ideal. Also, it may be a bit of wind, so wearing a jacket will be good.
• The weather conditions can always affect the tour. If the marine receives any ad weather signal, the port will remain closed therefore, the tour will be canceled. For any cancelation of this matter, there should be always a refund.
• Bear in mind that nobody is allowed to walk in the islands. This is for obvious reasons as the natural living needs to remain intact.
• If you are feeling a little dizzy during the tour, talk to your guide (this doesn’t usually happen but is always good to keep it in mind).
• Bring only your camera, sun protection, and comfortable clothes.

How to get to the Ballestas Islands

The Ballestas Islands are a group of rocky islands located off the coastal town of Paracas . The only way to visit the islands is to take a speedboat tour from the town.

There are many local companies that sell their tours in Paracas. These are usually at inflated prices and are not guaranteed to have safe boats or licensed drivers. Avoid the hassle and book in advance !

Paracas is a beautiful fishing town just 3 hours south of Lima . Nestled along the sandy streets are dainty cafes and restaurants serving up fresh fish and killer Pisco sours. Head south for the day, spend the night, or stay on board to experience Huacachina, only a short distance away.

You have 2 options to get to Paracas:

• Peru Hop bus

There are many public bus companies operating the Lima to Paracas route. The only problem is the headache you will have trying to compare prices and after you choose one, having to find the companies terminal since there is no central bus terminal.

Peru Hop busses offer a comfortable and safe trip, with free pickups and drop-offs. There are also included stops and tours on the way to Paracas which will make your trip much better! Make sure to check out the bus passes and decide which adventure best suits you!

Did you know?

• The Ballestas Islands are home to the endangered Humboldt penguin.
• Sea lion breeding season is between January and March. During these months you will see the beaches full of sea lion cubs and huge rival males defending their mating territories.
• Keep your eye out for “The Candelabro”, a huge geoglyph in the form of a candlestick (or is it a cactus?) found on the northern face of the Paracas peninsula. Sailors used this for hundreds of years as a coastal reference point.
• If you take the Peru Hop bus at 06:00 am from Lima, you have time to do the 10:00 am tour of the Ballestas Islands and continue to Huacachina the same day.
• Humpback Whales are frequently spotted in these waters between August and October as they move north for mating season.
• Nicknamed “Peru’s Galapagos”, the islands are a must-see for all wildlife lovers as they’re home to thousands of birds and mammals including penguins, sea lions, Inca terns, pelicans and dolphins.
• The islands, locally known as Las Islas Ballestas, are protected, meaning you cannot swim with the animals or walk on the islands themselves, but you can get very close to them on a boat tour.

What to bring to the Ballestas Islands?

Due to increasing winds during the course of the day, the tours only depart in the mornings at 08:00 am and 10:00 am, every day of the week. So be sure to wrap up if you are on the 10:00 am tour and tie that hair back to avoid missing the beautiful views!

• Wind jacket or jumper
• Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen
• Camera or cell phone to take pictures

Ballestas FAQ's

I am planning to follow your recommended minimum schedule leaving on one of the 07:00 am departures from Lima. Spending the first night in Paracas do I have time to do the Ballestas Island Tour, go on the free National Reserve Tour and still catch the bus leaving for Huacachina at 1:00 pm on the second day?

Yes, our buses are programmed to allow you to visit the Ballestas Islands (08:00 am – 10:00 am), the Paracas National Reserve (depart 11:00 am) and still leave for Huacachina at 1:00 pm to arrive in time for sandboarding at sunset!

I do not feel well and wish to cancel my tour for the next morning. Will I get a refund?

Peru Hop does not operate the Ballestas Islands trip. The tour provider allows changes up to 6:00 pm the day before at no cost. Cancellations or missed tours will be charged the full fee.

I woke up late and missed my tour. Can I change it for tomorrow?

Unfortunately, the operator of the Ballestas Island will charge fully for any NO SHOW or missed tours not previously changed before 6:00 pm the day before. If you would like to book the tour again for the next day then this is possible, but you will have to pay a second time.

Are there pick ups?

No, we meet at Frayles Residencial Hotel. Paracas is a tiny village, just a couple of hundred meters long and Frayles Residencial Hotel is very centrally located.

Is it possible to walk on the islands or to go swimming?

The islands are protected, meaning you cannot swim with the animals or walk on the islands themselves, but you will get very close to them by boat. A unique experience for those that will not make it to the Galapagos.
