The Ballestas Islands are in themselves a group of small islands (between five and six), in which an important population of sea lions usually inhabit. It is known that the population of this species has reached approximately 2,500 individuals, including fur seals and funny wolves; In addition to these animals, populations of Humboldt penguins have also been found on these islands, animals that are in danger of extinction.

It is necessary to know that since they are in a protected area, where endemic and endangered species live, disembarkation in the place is not allowed, but rather surround the different islands that make it up in order to appreciate the animal wealth that this natural space owns.
