The Sand Winds (Paracas)

Today was the first of many days where we will wake up before 6 in the morning (3:15am to be exact). 😬

Spent 4 hours on a bus to go to Paracas, which is basically a desert right by the coast. Lots of sands and water. 

We arrived at the port to take a boat over to Islas Ballestas. What are these you may ask? Well, it's an volcano island covered in guano. That's it. That the cultural benefit I learned about it. Apparently guano was known as the white gold some time ago.

There was a bit of fauna:

So stinking cute...

And then some more sand... Definitely a first!
