Lines, dunes and birds

After Arequipa I went to Nazca, wondering whether or not it was worth it to pay a lot of money to see the famous Nazca Lines on a 30-minute flight. The weather took that decision for me, as our flight was cancelled due to low visibility early in the morning.
That same day I headed to the former luxurious resort of Huacachina lagoon, where I relaxed for a couple days, rode a fun sand-buggie and improved my sand-boarding skills :)
My next stop was Pisco, from where I visited Islas Ballestas (also known as the Galapagos of the Poor) and saw hundreds of cormorans and pelicans, but not many sea lions as I was expecting to. And of course, I tried one of Perú's most typical dishes: ceviche (raw fish with strong lemon and onions; delicious!)
