Pisco - Ballestas Islands

From Pisco, we went on a 1/2 day excursion to the Ballestas Islands off the coast. I really liked this trip - perfect sunny weather, blue water, impressive geology and wildlife. I think it took my mind off the shabbiness back on land.

The area is a national park but there is mining: the white bird poop that covers the rocky islands is used for making fertilisers.
