The islands are a tourist area where you can see a significant number of sea lions living in their natural habitat. The islands are home to large colonies of more than 50 varieties of seabirds. On their coasts you can find seagulls, guanayes, zarcillos, boobies, pelicans, ducks and chuitas.
We will also be able to see Humboldt penguins in their natural habitat and the best part of the tour will be being able to swim very close to the sea lions. We know that you will not be able to be closer to nature.
At the highest part of the island there is an old lighthouse that served as a guide to the ships and steamers that frequented the beaches and port of Callao. On the island you can also see a water passage that is known as the Cathedral of the Palomino Islands.
