The most I enjoyed was going to the desert. Walking in the sand and the activities that take place. See Penguins and Sea Lions in their natural habitat, I liked it a lot, I don't like seeing them in captivity. They are in the Ballestas Islands.

Our experience was amazing. The tour guides we had (Sandra and Christian) were so much fun and made the three day trip an easy and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this trip, incredible value for everything you get to experience!
