NOTES:
• Respecting all established biosafety provisions, we will meet very early at our headquarters in La Punta, Callao. We will set sail in a wide and safe open double motor boat heading for 20 nautical miles.
• Our pelagic trips are designed to provide maximum comfort to our birdwatchers and photographers. We will only have half the capacity of passengers per boat. Being these 35 passengers, we will only carry a maximum of 17 passengers in addition to the usual technical boat staff which provides more space for equipment and viewing angles. This is also in line with current biosecurity standards.
• Peru is one of the three countries with the greatest diversity of bird species on the planet and among them we have more than 60 exclusively pelagic. Among the mammals, more than 30 dolphins and whales, in addition to the 2 species of sea lions, non-forgetting the sea turtles of various species.
• Excellent opportunity to disconnect from the city, cell phones and internet ... exclusive non-traditional trip, specialized for nature photographers, birdwatchers and wildlife lovers.
• After two hours sailing and having traveled 20 miles offshore, we will be able to observe bird species only found in the Humboldt Current off Peru and Chile waters. Birds that fly from the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand seasonally appear over the 20 to 40 miles offshore of Peru.
• It will also be possible to observe species such as albatrosses that fly from the Galapagos Islands in search of food, and species from Antarctica and Sub-Antarctic Islands that converge with species that reproduce in the northern hemisphere on their migration to the south.
JOURNEY DETAILS:
Respecting all the established biosecurity provisions, we will meet very early at our headquarters in La Punta, Callao. We will sail in a large and safe double-motor boat heading toward 20 nautical miles. At the beginning we will be able to appreciate coastal birds in the anchorage of yachts and boats in the bay of Callao. We pass through the lower "El Camotal", open sea and then sail between the San Lorenzo, El Frontón and Cavinzas islands with rich stories that come from pre-Columbian times. We will see boats of artisanal fishermen in fishing tasks and various colonies of guano birds among Peruvian boobies and pelicans, the guanay cormorant, the chuita or red-footed cormorant, Humboldt penguins, the sophisticated inca terns and, if we are lucky, the endemic surf cinclodes. Among migratory, shorebirds and gulls as Franklin's, Dominican and terns such as the elegant and the royal among others.
During our journey heading the 20 nautical miles we will be able to observe sea turtles, dolphins and even some whales on their migration route. Reaching our pelagic destination, the most representative birds such as the potoyunco or Peruvian diving petrel, petrels, shearwaters, terns, some oceanic gulls, the Chilean skua and even the waved albatross from the Galapagos Islands among others. We will start with the chum based on oil and fish remains, ideal snack to attract pelagic birds. These birds are not found near the coast and spend much of their lives in the high seas. Many of them only nest on islands or far away.
On our return we will pass through the famous Palomino and Cavinzas islands marine reserves with a population of up to 10 thousand sea lions, where if you dare you can swim with them and enjoy a life experience.
