Paracas

The next day we went to seaside town of Paracas where Peru Hop had organised a tour of the Ballestrea islands. These islands are known as the Peruvian Galapagos islands. We got a speed boat out to the rock islands and saw thousands of birds flying over the island. On the island itself we saw different breeds of birds and a few penguins. On the way back to Paracas we saw seals resting on a bouy in the sea and a few swimming below. I really enjoyed the tour as in a short space of time we saw lots of animals, it makes me want to come back and visit the Galapagos islands soon. Following the Ballestrea islands tour we drove around the Paracas National Park. We drove to a few different viewpoints and looked at some pretty beaches and cliff arches. It reminded me of our trip to the Great Ocean Road in Australia as the cliffs looked quite similar. Czytaj więcej
