Coastline in the Paracas National Reserve. Rolling sand dunes meet Pacific ocean with a ´blood red´ coloured beach in between.

These are sea lions resting at the Islas Ballestas. The Islas Ballestas is nicknamed ´the poor man´s Galapagos´. It was on this island we also saw Humboldt penguins and thousand-strong colonies of cormorants, boobies and pelicans.

This is an area within the Rerserva Nacional De Paracas where animals go to die. They have been using this beach as a final resting place for thousands of years. We found bones of sea lions, dolphins and pelicans. During our visit we saw a pelican dying. Next to this beach there is also several shipwrecks that lay untouched.
