Islas Ballastas

Can't describe how fantastic it was to see the mist rise and then suddenly we were in another world. The air was thick with cormorants flying and every rock and crevice was filled with seals, sealions, pelicans, penguins and hundreds of other species.

The boat rose and fell and great waves of water rushed through arches through which we could see more and more colonies of seabirds. An amazing two hours.

at the Mirador, we discovered a rather nice pool complete with bar... mmm Pisco Sour could become a habit!
