Ballestas Islands

Just off the coast at Pisco (the home of Pisco Sour), the "poor man's Galapagos" is home to thousands of birds, pelicans, cormorants, a few penguins and hundreds of sea-lions. Just half an hour on the cold water we find the islands - small cliffs covered in guano, and you can't miss the smell (and you can hardly see the cliff for the birds)!
