This cruise to the Palomino Islands from Lima is one of coastal Peru’s strongest marine experiences. Departing from Callao, the boat passes the bay and its anchored ships, then the San Lorenzo and El Frontón islands, with their colonies of seabirds and Humboldt penguins, before reaching Palomino, home to a large colony of sea lions.

There, depending on conditions, a supervised swim with the sea lions in their natural environment becomes possible: a rare, impressive and deeply alive moment. The return passes impressive cliffs and islets. This is not just a boat trip: it is a meeting with another side of Lima, wilder and more emotional.
