Ballestas Islands

Nearby half the birds and marine mammal populations inhabiting the southern island's are protected within the fifty six hundred square mile, Paracas National Reserve. The reserves croun jellel is Isla Ballestas, a critical hub for rare and endangered species including sea lions, two endangered turtles, and more than one hundred an ten migratory and resident sea birds. 
Neighboring islands of Chincha and Guanape, are infamously rich in guano. The nitrogen rich fertilizer has been deposited in pockets over four hundred feet deep by ten of thousands of back cormorants over the years.
Both islands have also provided archeologists with significant discoveries, headless female mummies, whose breast and thighs were covered with symbolized platelets of hammered gold. 
The sheer biomass of this island group's marine and terrestrial life forms are as great an attraction as the biodiversity niches of the Amazon rainforests. The island species typify the intrinsic values of  Peru's complex natural landscape helping to form a more complete understanding of its total environment. 
Could the Paracas Islands one day reflect the same travel magnetism that say, Manu or Tambopata-Candomo's biodiversity stimulates around the world. Would this increased understanding of another fragment of Peru's disappearing natural world give it another leap towards a resounding lead in natural and cultural tourism?
