Although grandiosely nicknamed the ‘poor man’s Galapagos,’ the Islas Ballestas certainly made for a memorable excursion. I was thankfully able to avoid the customary greeting from the local bird population that befalls many. My advise to those wishing to visit – wear a hat!
THE "CANDELABRA", THE CANDLE
The first sight on the trip from Paracas to the Ballestas, the candle, is estimated to have been created around 200 BC, its meaning and creation remain a mystery
