On the way we see the mysterious figure of “El Candelabro” (Candelabrum), made on the side of a hill facing the sea, with an unknown origin until today…Here, we will stop our boat and our local guide will explain us the different existing theories about this enigmatic figure…Then we are going to continue our journey and arrived to the Ballestas Islands, a paradise place, full of seabirds and sealions. Among birds, we can see groups of pelicans, Inca terns, gulls, Humboldt penguins, among others…As for sealions, these can be seen everywhere resting on the shores of the islands or playing in the water.

Upon our arrival to the pier, we will take a half an hour break in order to drinking coffee in the bay or simply go shopping at the small handicraft market in the area. Then we board our car and we will go towards Nazca.
