​
Your day begins early at 6:00 am with hotel pick-up, heading to Pantanos de Villa, where you’ll explore this serene wetland reserve alongside a local guide. This is a perfect experience for bird lovers, a chance to slow down, observe, and connect with a wide variety of resident and migratory species in their natural habitat.
Around 11:00 am, we continue south to the charming fishing village of Pucusana. After a relaxed lunch, the experience carries on with a 3-hour boat excursion along the rugged coastline. Here, you’ll encounter abundant wildlife, including sea lions and seabirds — and with some luck, you may also encounter otters and other marine mammals.
