Creator's Key Takeaways

this is our last stop here and we've decided we've gotten a lot of culture and a lot of culture it's nature time y'all most definitely yes

the Candelabra or Trident is a geoglyph really similar to the nasca lines we are going to be in front for a few minutes then we are going to go to the island

we needed some nature in our lives and we found it today

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book independent excursions through tours.pe for more options than ship tours

YouTube Video Description

Our third and final stop in Peru is the port of General San Martin, the gateway to Paracas and Pisco! We've got an independent excursion called "Ballestas & Paracas" booked with Tours.pe where we'll take a speedboat out to the Ballestas Islands for some sea lion and bird watching, then head to the Paracas National Park to explore one of the driest deserts in the world. Back onboard Volendam, we've got a sailaway deck party, a special Peruvian dinner, lots of trivia, lots of tunes, and more mayhem!! :P Find Tours.pe on the internet machine here: https://tourspe.com/shore-excursions-in-peru/ 00:00 BOOM! 00:04 Morning Mode 01:15 Let's Head Ashore 02:31 Paracas & Candelabra 05:48 Ballestas Islands 11:38 Photos Part One 13:15 Post-Boat Wanders 14:46 Paracas National Park 21:12 Photos Part Two 22:51 Fresh & Clean Mode 26:02 Sailaway Deck Party 27:56 Dinner & Trivias 30:35 The Evening Ends -Cruise Line: Holland America Line -Ship Name: MS Volendam -Cruise Dates: January 25, 2025 - June 7, 2025 -Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Round-Trip) -Itinerary: 133-Day Pole-To-Pole Cruise!!
