The first day that we arrived in Peru was in the city of Lima. The next morning we went straight to Paracas. You will come across many other small towns, who were unfortunatly a victim of the big earthquake that struck Peru. The people do appreciate that you are there, because the live of the tourists, so they need us. Paracas itself is an oasis of beauty. You have a quiet town, with extraordaniry nice people, beautiful desert, the amazing ballesta - islands and great food for such a small price. When you are in Paracas, make sure you go and visit the Ballesta - islands, do a jeepride through the dessert and have a relaxing time there. This was really one of my highlights of my trip to Peru.

We decided to venture out to the Islas Ballastas aka Poor man´s Galapagos ( poor cause it costs five dollars instead of a couple of hundred dollars to experience it...).
The wildlife was spectacular...hundreds and HUNDREDS of sealio…Peru´s number one export during the 19th century...nice.
In the afternoon we went to see the pink flamingos in the Paracas National Reserve, which is one of the driest deserts in the world with less than 2mm of rainfall a year… Poor Man´s Galapagos |
