All aboard
The tour begins its boarding at Pier Grau in Callao. Here the catamaran Spondyllus awaits, a wide two hull ship build for 86 passengers and smooth navigation. The catamaran offers an enclosed lower level and an open roof second level. From here we will get a better view of our tour.
The islands in Callao
The ship navigates into the open sea to explore a group of islands located right in front of the coast of Callao. For early cultures these islands were sanctuaries of cult, by the times of the colony they were trenches of pirates and corsairs. Today these are wildlife protected areas, full of sea life in their waters and shores. These islands are home of an impressive population of sea lions and sea birds, such as Piqueros, Guanays, Peruvian Pelicans, and a small population of Humboldt Penguins.
