Swimming with sea lions in Callao

Embark on an Unforgettable Journey from the Historic Port of Callao

Departing in the morning or afternoon, according to your preference, this journey begins in Callao, Peru’s main port and a hub of significant economic importance. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Lima, Callao is uniquely recognized as the world’s only constitutional province. From here, we set sail aboard a two-story yacht cruise to explore natural and historical wonders.

Our first stop is El Camotal, known as the "Peruvian Atlantis." This fascinating site, submerged during colonial times due to an 18th-century earthquake, offers a glimpse into the region's dramatic history.

Next, we head to San Lorenzo Island, where we will pass by the island's naval base and the Presidential Beach. Following this, we navigate around El Frontón Island, where you can observe the remnants of the infamous prison that once held the most dangerous criminals, ensuring they could not escape. This first leg of the tour lasts approximately an hour and a half, during which a guide will provide detailed explanations.

We then continue to the Palomino Islands, home to a colony of 5,000 to 8,000 sea lions. After circling the islands to observe these fascinating creatures, you’ll have the unique opportunity to swim with them. A lifeguard guide on board will first demonstrate how to safely swim with the friendly sea lions. If you decide to join in, the lifeguard will accompany and guide you in the water, ensuring a safe and memorable experience.

This tour offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and adventure, promising an experience you’ll never forget.
