The Paracas Candelabra is an enigmatic and gigantic figure located on the side of a hill on the Paracas peninsula, Peru. This spectacular geoglyph measures approximately 180 meters long and can be clearly seen from the sea. The shape of the Candelabra has generated many theories about its origin and purpose. Some believe it was created by the Paracas culture around 200 BC, while others suggest it could have served as a nautical signal or even had religious or astronomical meanings. The figure is carved from the arid earth and its design has withstood the passage of time and the inclemencies of the weather, remaining remarkably intact. This durability is due in part to the little rainfall the region receives and the composition of the terrain. Visiting the Candelabro is a fascinating experience that offers a unique insight into the archaeological mysteries of Peru and a direct connection to the ancient civilizations that inhabited the region.

After visiting the Candelabro we will go to the Ballestas Islands, this transfer lasts approximately 20 minutes.

During your visit to the Ballestas Islands, you will be able to observe numerous animal species in their natural habitat. Among the most notable are the sea lions, which can be seen resting on the rocks or swimming in the surrounding waters. It is also common to spot Humboldt penguins, an endangered species that lives on the South American Pacific coast. The islands are equally famous for their birdlife. Birds such as boobies, guanays, cormorants and wattles are seen in large numbers, nesting on the cliffs and foraging in the sea. These seabirds create an impressive spectacle with their flights and sounds. In addition to wildlife, the Ballestas Islands offer dramatic rock formations and sea caves that have been sculpted by erosion over the centuries. Visitors can admire natural arches and caverns, adding an element of adventure to the experience.
