end my trip to Paracas in Peru: a reservoir located in the provinces of Pisco and Ica. When I arrived with a bus company Cruz del Sur I find the ocean a few tens of meters from me. The sun is blinding and I can not help but think of the sudden climate change (see Cuzco with rain and cold) that have accompanied me throughout my journey. I take a taxi to the beautiful hotel where I decided to spend my last Peruvian weekend. "La Hacienda " is a four star hotel with every comfort, situated in a magnificent location with rooms overlooking the beach and ocean and direct access to a huge swimming pool set between the rear of the hotel, restaurant and relaxation area .
I relax in this paradise for a couple of hours until the arrival of a jeep that takes me to lead me in the coastal desert of the Natural Reserve of Paracas. What I expect is a tour on board a machine equipped with four-wheel drive and protection cage. Give me a pair of goggles and anti-sand part of high-speed ride the dunes of the desert. What fun! The landscape is surreal. Thinking of finding a desert area of \u200b\u200b70 km near the ocean is amazing. Once again, Peru confirms to me to be a wonderful country where you can change scenery with the speed of a blink of an eye.
spent about twenty minutes, my guide - a sort of rally champion in the desert - it stops abruptly. It 's time to ride the dunes. After it waxed, I pass a table to "skate" without wheels, resting on the sand and I go over there. The slope of the dune, I've bought leads to speed and, with pride and relief, I can stand up for the entire descent. I laugh and I'm happy. Yet another ride through the desert and I return to the heavenly hotel "La Hacienda". A shower, "jugo de granadilla" and I lay on a lounger around the pool.
The next morning I wake up early, pack your bags and leave the hotel. In a few hours I'll have to go to the airport Jorge Chavez to take back to Italy. But first I want to see even a little bit. This little bit is the "Ballestas Islands." This time, the means of transport was a motor boat. The first thing I see is the impressive figure of the "Candlestick", a huge image drawn on the slopes of a mountain in the Bay of Paracas. No one has so far found out who designed this great figure, nor why. There are many assumptions about which aim to demonstrate a relationship between the candelabra and the Lines of Nacza, located 120 km south of Paracas, while others see the huge figure of a sort useful reference point for navigation is used to guide you through the impenetrable fog in the area.
navigation will continue in the direction of the Ballestas Islands. The islands give me an incredible marine scenery inhabited by birds and sea lions. On board the boat I enter in caves and rock formations in which they live many marine species. I can easily see all kinds of animals: dolphins, Humboldt penguins, sea lions, seals and several species of waterfowl. The extraordinary biodiversity of the islands is due to the cold Humboldt current (an ocean current that circulates Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile and Peru from south to north). The amount of guano encountered is indescribable! You can see large deposits (ie, the huge white stains and smelly) consists of this natural fertilizer, which in past decades was collected and exported. My visit to the Ballestas Islands ends with eyes still images and sounds produced by sea lions.
Unfortunately I have reached the end of my esperieza Peru. It 's time to return to Italy. After 4 hours of bus reach Lima, take a taxi and go to the airport. I'll wait another four hours before boarding an Iberia flight to Madrid. From here another flight of the same company I take you to Bologna airport Guglielmo Marconi. BLQ I get on (bus), I reach the train station and take a regional Ancona. My adventure is truly over!
