• CruiseTo Islas Palomino (Palomino Islands are located at short distance from the port of Lima, Callao. These small islands are inhabited by small colonies of sea lions, Peruvian boobies and Guanay cormorants. This is a reasonable alternative excursion to the famous Ballestas Islands in Paracas if you are spending some days in Lima and can not travel south to Pisco and Paracas, and also if you want to swim with the sea lions. (In Ballestas that is forbidden.) Tickets are available at the port for S/100 (March 2011) including a swim with the sea lions and a lunch or for S/70 (March 2011) (on the other corner of the square) for a round trip with the boat.
