Ballestas islands

I was looking forward to this trip for quite a while. Branded as "poor man Galapagos" the islands have plenty of wildlife around to spot from a very close distance.
The boat ride took us first to view the Candelabra petroglyph and our tour guide explained couple of theories how it was created.
From here we picked up speed and headed towards the islands itself.
I don't think we have ever seen so many birds. Our favorite penguins were just relaxing on a huge cliff and I have no idea how they got there.
The captain navigated around the islands perfectly and we could encounter sea lion and pelicans real up close.
We finished the trip by visiting beach full of sea lions making the weirdest sounds.
Journey back to the white was really fast with windy blowing around.
What a great trip!Read more
