Itinerary
At 10:30 a.m. we will meet at Calle La Mar to board our speed boat and embark on a tour of the islands of Callao. During the trip, we will explore the South Pacific, admiring rock formations and observing fishing activities. We will visit El Camotal, an island submerged by an earthquake, whose remains can be seen at low tide. We will approach San Lorenzo, the “mysterious island”, famous for its naval base, cemeteries of Chilean soldiers and more than 20 pre-Inca archaeological sites. From the boat, we will also see El Fronton Island, known for the ruins of its prison, which housed Shining Path prisoners in the 1980s. We will continue to the Cavinzas Islands, home to an important colony of Humboldt penguins, and skirt the Palomino Islands, where we will observe its ecosystem of guano birds and more than 8,000 sea lions. Those who wish can swim among these animals. The tour will conclude at 1:00 p.m. at the meeting point in Callao.

Trip was cancelled due to weather. I certainly understand that is out of their control, however my issue is with the poor communication from the company. I was notified within a half hour of the meeting time, so I was already in an uber to the location. That meant a lot of time in traffic and wasted money. The company was unwilling to offer an apology for the poor communication or a discount for rebooking. For a hospitality company, that is unfortunate and I would recommend booking with another tour.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for what happened. The cancellation was due to weather conditions beyond our control. The notification was sent in advance; however, we understand you may not have received it on time due to signal issues. We remain committed to providing the best service possible and are available to assist you with rescheduling for another opportunity.
