5.00Nice tour, but quite massive. Even outside the main season. Boats fairly full, but that also pressures the price. You pass a beautiful coastline. After a few nautical miles you arrive at a 180 meter high “drawing” in the sand of a candlestick or cactus. From 200 years BC. Then you sail on to the balledtas islands, with lots of birds, sea lions and penguins. A beautiful experience.
