Operator response

Hello Maite, we're very sorry you've had an upset stomach, but according to the conversations via whatsApp you started having symptoms after 01 week after our tour in Paracas, so we don't think it's possible that you may have been infected during our excursion. We regret receiving a negative review due to this incident. We hope you recover soon. Best regards, Sam =) 😇🙌🏻✈️

To do!

Great day, Kate. The boat tour is very interesting, we saw seals, sea lions, lots of birds and penguins (from afar). Nothing better than seeing animals in their natural environments. The beaches visited were also very nice. The guide is very nice and funny. The tour is speed. It's worth it!
