Ballestas Islands

The Ballestas Islands, located off the southern coast of Peru, are a small group of islands known for their rich marine biodiversity. These islands are part of the Paracas National Reserve and are often referred to as the 'Poor Man's Galapagos' due to their unique ecosystems that attract a variety of wildlife.

The islands are home to a large population of seabirds, including Humboldt penguins, cormorants, and pelicans. Visitors can witness the impressive sight of sea lions basking on the rocks, as well as the diverse marine life that inhabits the surrounding waters, such as dolphins and various fish species.

Accessible by boat from the nearby town of Paracas, the Ballestas Islands have become a popular destination for eco-tourism. Tours typically include visits to the islands and views of the famous Candelabra geoglyph, carved into the hillside, which adds to the islands' allure and historical intrigue.
