You shouldn't take the tour to Islas Ballestas in blazing sun. In the morning it's much cooler and the animals are still on the rocks. Imagine this photo in a bright blue sky. Not very exciting, right? Take the first tour, it will be worth it!

The Islas Ballestas are ruled by birds. They produce the valuable guano. They can s(h)it wherever they want.

🌊The Islas Ballestas are a group of small islands. They are part of a nature reserve and home to numerous animal species.🐧💩 Thousands of seabirds produce guano here. This is caused by the reaction of bird droppings and limestone and is traditionally used as a fertilizer 🚜, but also in the production of explosives💣. The word guano comes from Quechua, where it's called "wanu". 🤓 Responsible for the chemical reaction is the nucleobase guanine contained in the bird's urine.

The Islas Ballestas are a group of small islands. They are part of a nature reserve and home to numerous animal species. It was cool and a bit foggy, which are the best prepositions to see all the animals. For example, sea lions! When it gets hot during the day, they disappear in the ocean.
