After the visit to the desert and thinking Paracas is just a bus stop...I was pleasantly surprised to discover otherwise...
I just had not ventured from my hotel to see the larger picture...
a busy little sea side town with quite the feel of islands...the palm trees, cafes, boats, seafood...
The little 'town' and gateway to the
home to millions of birds and other sea animals
Many tourists, awaited eagerly me included
to see what lay beyond the jetty
The guided tour lasts about 2 hours...the boats travel quite fast and makes a huge sea spray....leaving the face all salty...
On the way we saw a candelabra...I did not quite get the story why it's there but it makes a pretty picture
The Isla has millions and millions of birds...
pelicans, penguins
I will leave the noise, smell and levels of activity to your imagination
The sea lions slide on and off the rocks...not as numerous or noisy as their feathered neighbors...I always wondered how they managed not to slide of the rocks...seeing that they are so smooth...they are just such adorable, gentle looking creatures...always huddled together in families, couples....the male can weigh up to 300Kg...???
What a beautiful home to have
