En-route see 'El Candelabro', a large geoglyph that serves as a lighthouse for sailors.
Continue to the Ballestas Islands, where you can view the sea lions in their natural habitat, who love to approach the tourist boats and jump around; this being a show that in itself fully justifies the visit, also appreciate the Humboldt penguins, guaneras birds, the guano exploitation area and stone forms caused by the erosion of wind and waves. Approximately 1 hour and 30 min on the sliders.
