Checking out the wildlife at the ¨poor mans Galapagoas Islands.. ¨

We took the bus from lima down to paracas on the west coast of peru hoping to take the ealry morning boat trip around paracas natinal park should be showing you pictures of sea lions and dolphins but the sea was too rough and the coastguard wouldnt let any boats sail that day so we took a trip around the desert then to the ocean for beautifl fis...

Woke up at 3 AM to catch my bus to Paracas. The Prado bus station of Cruz del Sur was empty when I arrived at 3:25 AM. I had to wait till 4 AM when boarding was finally opened. It´s a Cruzero service and I´m on Seat No. 9 on the first floor of the double decker bus. There was a pillow and a blanket and the seat was wide and reclines to up to 60 ...

This morning, I did what all the tourists in Paracas do: got on a speedboat and cruised around the Ballestas Islands looking at wildlife. I desperately want to go to the Galopagos Islands but can´t afford it just yet, so at $20 this was a perfectly acceptable substitue. The Islands were actually pretty amazing. I saw sea lions, crabs, condors, P...

Welcome to blog once again, This morning started with my short trip with Jessica in search of that rare Leatherback turtle shell. We left the hotel around 710 am and was able to find the shell within 15 minutes. I couldn´t remember the exact location of the shell, but we found the turtle shell getting washed up further inland close by our hotel....

Sarah and I went sandboarding on these huge sand dunes in Huacachino. It was awesome. I only got up properly on the board on the last go and I surfed for about 30 metres. Had my arms out for balance and crouched down low. I could feel the sand spitting out the back of the board into the palm of my hand. Cool, man. Mind you my first few times wer...

We woke up really early for our 7:15 am pickup to go to the Islas Ballestas, better known as the Poor Man´s Galapagos. We got shoved into the front seat, which was a pretty terrifying experience, if you have read our other comments on Peruvian driving. We got onto a nice motorboat and were driven past the "Candelabra," which is basically a giant...

We arrived in Paracas in the dark on 4th April after our bus delay, but it did mean we watched an amazing sunset across the desert from the bus. Paracas is a tiny little town located in a bay on the Pacific coast, and barely has any street lighting, so arriving at night meant we had no idea what was around us until the following morning. After b...

Our Guide eventually returned and we boarded a minibus with our three new travelling companions, setting off through the busy Lima streets that were notorious for traffic jams, snarl ups and the inevitable fumes. We had booked on another G.A.P. tour that fitted all our 'to do' list in Peru, plus a few tourist extras. This had dovetailed nicely i...

Paracas National Park.... where to begin.... um, maybe with the fact that it´s a huge coastal desert and the fact that all though I had been told this, it was still a huge shock to the system! It was quite funny... i spent several days questioning my intelligence. I mean what part of "coastel desert" did I not understand? ejejejej I am absolutel...
