When we were heading to the town of Paracas we had no idea you can take a short boat ride to see penguins, especially when seeing nothing but the desert all around. It took less than an hour to reach The Ballestas Islands, where we were greeted by thousands and thousands of birds and sea life around the rocky islands. Sure enough, we saw penguins (albeit a bit far away) 🐧!
In the afternoon we headed deeper to Peru’s south, to a little Huacachina village which is situated around huge dunes. It welcomed us with the epic evening views and total freedom to explore the surroundings 🧭.
