Ballestas Islands

June 15, 2026  •  Leave a Comment

Day 3 had us up early again to catch a boat to the Ballestas Islands, located off the coast of Paracas. Nicknamed the poor mans Galapagos, it is teeming with playful dolphins, Humboldt penguins, barking sea lions and a wide variety of sea birds. The white color of the islands shows just how many birds call this place home. IYKYK

I have never seen so many dolphins!

The sea lions were so loud!

 

When my SIL was younger, her dad would take her and her friends out to the islands to swim with these cuties.

The Inca Tern has the coolest white mustache and red feet.

The Peruvian Booby and  Guanay Cormorant

This was the first part of day 3.
