Islas Ballestas (Ballestas Islands)

These spectacular islands, eroded into many caves and arches, provide shelter for thousands of seabirds and hundreds of sea-lions. The continual droppings from 150 bird species such as cormorants, Humboldt penguins, boobies and pelicans brought to the development of a profitable extraction industry that exports guano throughout the world for use as fertilizer.

The Peruvian Guano is considered very good due to the special weather and ocean currents.

Come to “ Noemis“

Our bathroom in the lodge in the jungle.

I am resting after a long walk in the jungle.

After 3 km of walking, we got to Lake

Sandoval. The walk in the rain forest is hard – it is very hot, humid,

there is not enough oxygen to breath, not

enough water to drink. These were

definitely the longest 3 km in my life!

But then, we got to this lake!

Paradise! It was so peaceful that I even forgot we had to

go back another 3 km!

So quiet , peaceful , amazing!

Friendly school girls in Cusco

Folklore evening in Cusco

Koricancha – CuscoThe Temple of the

Sun (Templo del Sol) was the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire.

Koricancha means "courtyard of gold" in Quechua.

The temple had a garden of gold, with golden corns, trees, butterflies, llamas.

The walls of the temple are trapezoidal with a vertical inclination which is typical

in Inca architecture, the stones are perfectly joined, there is no space between them.

Sacsayhuaman – try to pronounce it like

“ Sexy woman“

Visiting Isla los Uros Tupiri, one of the floating islands of the Uros

The Uros use bundles of dried totora reed to build the island and the boats.

Walking on the island is like walking on a water bed!

About 500 stairs down from Taquile island to

the ship that was waiting for us .

Personal photosAll the photos were scanned ( I had no digital camera then ),thus the quality is not very good.
