    The Islas Ballestas, home to the Guanay and Cormorant birds, is where the world's finest form of natural fertilizers can be found. Guano, excrement of these birds, can be sold up to $80 USD per 50 kg bundle. Every eight years, an expedition of Peruvian mountain men spends three months collecting the precious droppings.

    Just off the main square is a shopping street. At night, many people are out. Good restaurants. And don't forget to have a Pisco Sour! The Main Plaza always has something going on. This is a nice place to base trips to Ballestas Islands and Paracas National Preserve. Pisco is just an easy three hour bus ride from Lima.
