These beautiful islands serve as home to thousands of migratory birds, who share their habitat with colonies of restless sea lions.

As a first point we will visit the RNP interpretation center. Then we will head towards the natural rock formation known as THE CATHEDRAL, due to the whimsical shape it has and the spectacular panoramic view.
We continue with the panoramic visit to the Red and Yumaque beaches.

I was unable to take the tour by mistake of the operator and TripAdvisor - Unfortunately my review is not about the tour, because I could not do it, but about the company and its conduct. And also about a platform failure.
When I made the Reservation for the tour, I still did not have the hotel chosen, so I selected this option. A few days later I made the reservation change with my hotel that appeared in the list of options within here on the TripAdvisor platform.
After this hotel change, Izi Peru confirmed the Reservation and I downloaded the vouchers to have on the trip.
The night before the tour, Izi Peru contacted me to match my withdrawal and it was at that moment that they informed me that they would not pick me up, because my hotel was in another city. I asked by saying that everything was in the Reservation, that I chose the hotel from the list provided and Izi Peru said that it was the platform's mistake and that they could not do anything about it. I asked again saying that the mistake was also of them for accepting the change of the Reservation with the hotel in another city, but they did not say anything about it.
As I was in another city and imagined that the tour would come out of there, I had to buy another tour with another company not to miss the opportunity.
A few days later I contacted Izi Peru again through the platform and also via whatsapp asking for a refund, because I did not make the tour. The same said again that the mistake was not theirs and that they would not make the refund. I tried contacting again and they stopped answering me.
I also tried to contact Tripadvisor/Viator, but the same has no service in Brazil, only has a number from the USA to call.
Tip 1: If you haven’t booked your hotel yet, don’t book any tours.
Tip 2: Only buy tours with free cancellation and refund policy inside the platform.
Tip 3: only buy tours with agencies with many reviews, because so the chance of error is much lower (it is not the case with Izi).
