17-18 March 2010
I caught an overnight bus from Arequipa, I wanted to go to Pisco, but apparently I couldn´t. So I went to the next town, wandered around, decided I didn´t like it, and caught a collectivo to Pisco.
In Pisco I booked a morning tour to Islas Ballestas, the poor mans Gallapagos.
In the evening prior to the tour I went to Pisco´s most recommended bar for a Pisco Sour... much better here than in Chile! And the barman was nice enough to tell me where I should go for dinner, then, since it was quiet, took me to dinner. Imagine, a 22 year old taking me out for dinner! And he insisted on paying (at least it was cheap, even for here... a fraction of the price of the Pisco Sour).
Peruvian Pelicans
The Candelaria... they don´t know why, but there it is on a dune faces the pacific. And it´s really big.
The islands from a distance. They are white with Guano, bird doo, a major export product for fertiliser.
Sea Lions and their pups. Wow!
Outside of town the houses were made of straw mats!
Accomodation in Pisco, Gino´s $7, private room, private bath.
Tour to Islas Ballestas, 3 hours (but more like 4 hours) $14
Pisco Sour $5
Dinner, skewered Beef hearts, $2.
