The Ballestas Islands

Now we travel along the Peruvian coast to Paracas. The desert and the sea come together in spectacular fashion in Paracas. The cliffs that fringe the beaches are teeming with life: millions of birds that live here year-round, and thousands of others that fly from the Northern Hemisphere and from further south, ranging from guano birds to Humboldt penguins

So we take a yacht trip from Paracas to the Ballestas Islands passing the Candelabra, which I put with Nazca, but here it is again:

El Candelabro (The Candelabra) is a geoglyph of more than 394 feet long, better appreciated from the ocean.

These islands, also known as the Guano Islands, constitute the habitat to large concentrations of sea birds and sea lions colonies in their natural environment.

These are the Tambo Colorado Inca ruins:

Visiting both the Nazca Lines and the Ballestas Islands in one day is just wonderful.
