It is a rare visual. Ballestas Islands, a nature’s paradise, home to aquatic birds forming carpets on the islands, huge sea lions laying on the rocky curves, dolphins leading the way, penguins, terns, cormorants, pelicans, vultures, Peruvian boobies assembling in this unique reserve. We take a photo tour with 22 glimpses of the Ballestas Islands, a huge celebration of nature in this paradise in the South coast of Peru.
The Tour Begins
The leading personas of the region, the dolphins, are the first to welcome you on the journey.
The first glimpses of the islands open up with thousands of birds on the walls of the islands.
Few minutes later, we are accompanied by swarms of birds who will stay throughout the journey.
The main islands
Well yes, penguins far north of Antarctica, can also be found on these isalnds. We were lucky to spot a few Humboldt penguins on our trip!
We can be busy with the huge number of wildlife but difficult to miss the amazing views of the rock formations and fort-like primitive gateways in multiple places.
Count the species
It is a non-stop party of multiple species coming together in this wonderland.
The Ballestas Islands region is a unique land in itself. The astonishing co-existence of a large number of species instills the optimism for the future of the earth.
P.S. Catch the tale of this reserve in the opening story of the new Netflix series – Our Planet Season 1
