Get ready bright and early with a pickup from your hotels and transfer in a luxury, air-conditioned Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi, reclining seats and an onboard restroom - a major upgrade from cramped vans. No stops along the way, so pack your favorite snacks and coffee for the scenic drive along Peru’s stunning coastline.

Board a fast speedboat and cruise out into the Pacific to explore the Ballestas Islands, famously known as “The Poor Man’s Galapagos.” Along the way, you’ll spot the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph carved into a coastal hill - a prehistoric puzzle still unsolved. As you approach the islands, prepare to be surrounded by hundreds of sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, and other exotic marine life. Your bilingual guide will explain the fragile ecosystem and local lore while you soak in the sea breeze and wildlife photography opportunities.
