About 3:30 hours south of Lima, the Ballestas Islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Peru for lovers of marine wildlife, birds, and beautiful rock formation sceneries.
These small islands, also called the “Poor Man’s Galapagos” because of how cheap it is to visit them and their wildlife experience, are an important sanctuary for marine fauna like the guanay guano bird, the blue-footed booby, and the tendril. Other species include zarcillos, Humboldt Penguins, fur seals, and sea lions, amongst other mammals – all coexisting in their natural habitat.
