Sailing for Palomino Islands

Once on board our Cruise ship, which is properly equipped for long sailing trips, we will start our itinerary at the nearby group of Islands. As we bravely sail breaking the pounding waves of the Ocean, we will see unique, touching sites that will leave us pondering either on such for-granted things as freedom, life, home or the moving beauty of nature.

El Camotal
Once part of the old port-city of El Callao, currently covered by the relentless waters of the Ocean, as a result of the 1746 Earthquake. On low-tide days, you may observe some remains in this place ...

San Lorenzo Island
Four kilometers off-shore the El Callao bay, it is 8 km long by 2,5 km wide. Once the place of religious centers in pre-Columbian times, it became during the Colony a boneyard for seamen, pirates and corsairs. It later on turned into an appealing research place for men of science, including the great English scientist Charles Darwin. Currently made a military area, you'll be able to have a panoramic view of the island a we sail past.

El Fronton Island
About 7 km off-shore, it sticks out of the seas as a huge rock! You'll se there the remains of the eponymous old Penitentiary, besides listening to some of its countless stories and anecdotes.

Cavinzas Islands
Group of islands and islets with plenty of natural caves and caverns; it is the last guano harvesting site. Now, they are a natural paradise for seabirds such as pelicans, Peruvian boobies, guanays, red-legged cormorants, and a variety of gulls. They are also inhabited by Humboldt penguins, which may be occasionally seen.
