Sailing for Palomino Islands

Itinerary:

We will be first holding a meeting wherein life vests will be checked and each handed out one, whereupon we'll be moving to the dock to board our ship. Once we have obtained the corresponding permit from Capitanía and the Coast Guard, we are now ready to set sail:

Once on board our Cruise ship, which is properly equipped for long sailing trips, we will start our itinerary at the nearby group of Islands. As we bravely sail breaking the pounding waves of the Ocean, we will see unique, touching sites that will leave us pondering either on such for-granted things as freedom, life, home or the moving beauty of nature.

El Camotal
Once part of the old port-city of El Callao, currently covered by the relentless waters of the Ocean, as a result of the 1746 Earthquake. On low-tide days, you may observe some remains in this place...

San Lorenzo Island
Four kilometers off-shore the El Callao bay, it is 8 km long by 2,5 km wide. Once the place of religious centers in pre-Columbian times, it became during the Colony a bone yard for seamen, pirates and corsairs. It later on turned into an appealing research place for men of science, including the great English scientist Charles Darwin. Currently made a military area, you'll be able to have a panoramic view of the island a we sail past.

El Fronton Island
About 7 km off-shore, it sticks out of the seas as a huge rock! You'll se there the remains of the eponymous old Penitentiary, besides listening to some of its countless stories and anecdotes.

Cavinzas Islands
Group of islands and islets with plenty of natural caves and caverns; it is the last guano harvesting site. Now, they are a natural paradise for seabirds such as pelicans, Peruvian boobies, guanays, red-legged cormorants, and a variety of gulls. They are also inhabited by Humboldt penguins, which may be occasionally seen.

Palomino Islands
Important group of islands; which nature seems to have deliberately turned into habitat and refuge for sea lions, as these huge, frolicsome, friendly animals thrives in these rocky Islands, with plenty of thrilling natural caves and caverns. In fact, if you are prepared, you may take a bath and a picture with sea lions in the background! Return. Landing. Back to the dock.
