On July 14, 2011, I visited the Islas Ballistas. These rock-formated islands are located near the town of Paracas (and Pisco) in Peru. They're famous for the great amount of marine fauna and often referred to as the "Peruvian Galapagos". These islands are amazing! I've never seen SO many birds together. The islands are rich in beautiful species, many of them in danger of extinction. Take a look at my pictures and admire the Humboldt pinguins, seals, sea lions and Peruvian terns (endangered by extinction!). After the islands I visited (with a group of tourists) the peninsula of Paracas which is a marine reserve. It has some nice desert-like spots, as it's part of the outskirts of the Atacama desert.
