Swimming with Sea Lions
A boat trip to the Palomino Islands, a group of rocky islets off Callao, provides an opportunity to observe wildlife in its natural setting. Thousands of sea lions rest on the rocks, and visitors can swim alongside them in calm waters. The islands are also home to Humboldt penguins and various bird species, including pelicans, terns, and cormorants. The three-hour cruise includes a scenic tour of the surrounding coastline and nearby islands, such as San Lorenzo, known for its historical significance. Departing Callao at 10:30 am, the boat reaches the islands in about an hour, allowing time for swimming and snorkeling before returning by 1pm.
