Boat trip at Paracas and Ballestas Islands in Peru to see the wildlife.
This was the second day of my South American trip - 30 April 2010.
The Paracas National Reservation is located in Ica, Peru. Its main purpose is to preserve the sea ecosystem and protect the historical cultural heritage.
The reserve is home to many species of wildlife, particularly birds.
Within the reserve you can also find natural wonders such as La Catedral ('the Cathedral') or a mysterious historical Geoglyph called the Paracas Candelabra.
Ballestas Islands is the name of the islands means "Crossbow", so named according to local fishermen. The group of three islands has narrow shorelines and cliffs that rise to flan areas that cover an area of 3.2 square kilometers.
In the breeding season this is where birds build their nests with their own droppings. These droppings, the famous guano fertilizer, are harvested every 4-7 years.
The boat trip to Ballestas Islands provides an opportunity to easily watch resident and migratory birds, including flamingos, red-legged cormorants, Inca terns, bobbies, as well as playful sea lions, and amusing Humboldt penguins.
