After living in Costa Rica and traveling around Central America, my first dip into South America by way of Peru felt like diving into the deep end of the swimming pool. This is a massive country that, unlike Central American countries, cannot be completely explored in one trip. I decided to focus my stay in Lima and the western coast. With that in mind, here’s a glimpse at 19 of my Peru images from Lima to Huacachina and the Ballestas Islands.

The incredible rocky formations teeming with wildlife make the Ballestas Islands a more accessible Galapagos.
