Day 2 Ballestas + Huacachina + Ica

This morning around 8 Am we will go to the islands of Ballestas, with hundreds of sea lions and birds and beautiful rock formations. They are therefore sometimes compared to the small Galapagos Islands. The most common animals are seals, pelicans, cormorants, gannets, penguins, and other bird species that use the rocks as a breeding and resting place. A large amount of bird droppings lures millions of fish, which in turn serve as food for the birds, but which have also been used as fertilizers for years.

This manure was one of the largest export products in Peru! Speedboat to the islands with an English-speaking guide, who knows a lot about the animals. To protect the sensitive ecosystem, you cannot enter the islands themselves. On the way there the boat sails past the 100 m high “Candlestick”, a large drawing in the desert sand on a hill along the coast. Afterward, you do an excursion at 11 Am to the reserve of Paracas. Later on, we have a private car that first will takes you on a trip of 1 hour to a pisco brewery for a free tour with a tasting include!  Next, you will drive 10 minutes further to Huacachina, this is an oasis in the desert between beautiful immense dunes.
