Both the Ballestas Island & Tambo Colorado trips were wonderful. The lady tour guide ‘Olinga’ was very detailed and explained very well for the boat trip. Fabio was a lively guide at Tambo, however, he spent a lot of time talking with the driver in Spanish during the drive that I felt was a bit distracting. But overall I enjoyed the whole tour very much.

This tour was cancelled as Tambo Colorado was closed for Maintenance and replaced by Ballestas Islands and Paracas National Park, so disappointed. The day was enjoyable but NOT what I wanted to do and I think this tour was less expensive but no refund.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
I am sorry that your visit was not to your liking, unfortunately the authorities are very slow and that day the Tambo Colorado Archaeological Center did not open on time

Ballestas Island has plenty of birds and penguins. There were only 2 of us on the long ride to Tambo Colorado. The ruins had a lot of graffiti. The driver/guide did not speak English so we did not get a good description of the ruins. I would not recommend the Tambo Colorado portion of the tour.

Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen, unter anderem Pinguine, Pelikane, Vögel, Krabben und anderes Meeresgetier. Das war sehr schön. Unsere Führerin war sehr nett. Tambo Colorado lohnt sich für die weite Anreise meiner Meinung nach nicht. Man sieht nicht mehr als auf den Fotos. Nur die Fahrt dahin war interessant, da unterwegs viel abgebaut wurde, unter anderem die Heidelbeeren.
