Known as the 'poor mans Galapagos', but only because it is around $25usd for a fantastic tour of the Isla Ballestas and Paracas National Park in Pisco, it is so close to the mainland. A major migration spot for birdlife, penguins and seals, the red stoney beach has a huge seal colony with so much noise. Our guides were very informative and spoke good english, I recommend a trip here, it's 3hrs south of Lima. You are welcome to download this video. |
