Bird Photography

Visitors to the Peruvian coast are welcomed for photography tours through a steady, salt-colored breeze from the steel-gray, steel-framed panorama known as the Pacific Ocean. The screams of thousands of sea birds and sea lions caught by the heavy waters of this dramatic desert coast carry the waves and emit fog, sometimes suspended over cold Humboldt streams.

The scene contrasts dramatically with the rotation of the head, where the vibrant sea is replaced by silent sands in the visually stunning Peruvian coastal desert. Plants and animals are replaced by a mix of sand dunes, rocky hills and lunar-like landscapes, ideal for Peruvian paintings that are wonderfully beautiful and mystical.

This combination of life, landscape, and good lighting makes the Peruvian coast an excellent area for Peruvian landscape photography and landscape photography.

Birds to photograph on the Peruvian coast

There are a number of types of light birds that rise above, dive into, and pose for photography near the waters of the Peruvian coast. Many occur in large herds, which are following the most symbol:

Humboldt Penguin: Despite being very close to the equator, these comic birds live in the cold waters of the Peruvian coast. It is also off the coast of Chile, but it is easier to see and photograph around the picturesque Peruvian islands. Some of the best places to be photographed are in Peru at Paracas, Islas Ballestas, or around Islas Palomino.
Inca Tern: One of the most striking Peruvian sea birds, the dark gray balloon contains a bill and a red hammock of coral, and what looks like a long white mustache! It is easy to see and photograph because it sits on rocky rocks and islands that dot the Peruvian coast.
Peruvian Pelican: looks like swan brown but bigger, and has a lighter color, and a more colorful bill. Such as Humboldt Penguin and Inca Tern, are also found only in the Peruvian and Chilean coasts.
Guanay Cormorant: These amazing, black, and white, red-eye birds often make good filming subjects in Peru because of their tendency to appear on winged, winged rocks.
Red-headed crocodile: Often seen on islands off the coast of Peru, this beautiful gray type has deep red feet, a red and yellow bill, and a white spot on the side of the neck.
Tirren Peru: The Paracas Peninsula is the best place to go in the Peruvian photography route to get photos of this small type of artichoke. There are a few pictures of this endangered bird and there are a few other sites that are accessible.
Chilam Flamingo Chile: Flamengo Chile looks long and long-necked, with pink-white feathers, making it a good subject for photography in Peru. This is especially the case when a herd of these birds is reversed by reflecting their reflections in the glass waters of the coastal lakes that are repeated.


In one of the great paradoxes of nature, the Peruvian desert can support very few organisms for the same reason that marine waters are very rich in life. The cold water of the Humboldt stream is not warm enough to produce the amount of evaporation needed to make rain clouds but is filled with such a huge amount of volatile nutrients that Peruvian coastal waters are the most productive marine ecosystem in the world. In the language of photography, this translates into an amazing desert coast bordered by a sparkling sea hosting huge hordes of seabirds (plus good numbers of sea lions).

The Peruvian Coastal Desert of Photography

Peru is famous for Inca culture, parrot photography and other wildlife in the forest, Macchu Picchu, Nazca Lines and other landmarks. With Peruvian wildlife and Peruvian cultural imagery in the Peruvian Amazon or Peruvian Andes, many often forget Peru has a huge coastal desert.

The very dry conditions in Peru made the coastal lines of Nazca possible and also preserved for centuries. Although some Peruvian photography routes may include flights over these mysterious images of Nazca lines, rocky plains, mysterious valleys and sand dunes supported by vast remote mountains, this offers ample opportunities to take pictures in Peru's coastal desert.

Photography in Paracas and Pisco, Peru

The Paracas Peninsula is the most prominent peninsula on the Peruvian coast and has been designated as a national reserve to protect the huge numbers of birds and marine wildlife living in the area. Located 120 miles south of Lima, near the coastal city of Pisco, the beautiful landscapes of the coastal cliffs, the sandy desert and the ocean with distant rocky islands are on the horizon, making Paracas a popular destination for photography in Peru.

In addition to abundant sea birds, whale scenes and dolphins from time to time, Baracas is also famous for a series of huge, sailing lines that have been scraped on the large sand dunes facing the sea. Easily known as "El Candelabro", it is easily seen and photographed on boat trips to the Paracas Peninsula. These boat trips can be arranged through Pisco's travel agents but are included on most photographic tours to Paracas, Peru.

Photography in Islas Ballestas, Peru

Islas Ballestas, Peru is a series of small islands near the Paracas Peninsula which is often called the "Galapagos Islands of Peru" because of the large numbers of birds and black sea they live on, such a large number of cormorants, pelicans, seabirds and other seabirds In the Peruvian coast has been intertwined with Islas Ballestas for many centuries that most "soil" is actually "giraffe" or accumulated bird droppings.

The visit to these rocky outposts is a must for any photography trip to Peru, because it is not only one of the easiest locations to photograph the magnificent Peruvian wildlife, but the rocks carved with the ocean as a backdrop also make it a spectacular spectacle.

Photography in Islas Palomino, Peru

Islas Palomino is located off the Peruvian coast of Lima and offers another opportunity in the Peruvian coast to photograph the sea lions and a wealth of seabirds in their natural habitat. One of the most beautiful things to do on a scenic trip to these Peruvian islands is that it can be easily carried out as a daily flight from Lima. This is very suitable for photographers who left one day on their Peruvian tour, or for people who do not mind ending a day of unforgettable unforgettable photography in Peru with some amazing Peruvian ceviche washed with sour pisco in one of the many excellent restaurants in Lima.
