Tim PommorinAs already mentioned, in Paracas the desert meets the ocean.<br>
There is nothing in between. The small town of Paracas, of course. But in terms of landscape, the beach merges directly into the desert.<br>
But let's not forget the sea. Fantastically beautiful.<br>
And penguins! We were very excited about that! Penguins in the wild!<br>
The most famous sight is of course the so-called candelabra of Paracas; a geoglyph whose shape is actually a little reminiscent of a three-armed candlestick.This approximately 170 metre high carving is over 2000 years old.<br>

Image description:<br>
1/3 A group of over a dozen black and white Humboldt penguins stand on a barren rock. Their distinctive shape and the stark contrast of their plumage stand out well against the blue sky behind them. A Peruvian gannet flies in the sky.<br>
<br>
2/3 The candelabra of Paracas seen from the sea. Blue ocean in the foreground. A white and red boat enters the picture from the left. In the background the rocky cliffs. Their ochre colour merges directly into dune-like sand hills.<br>
A large geometric figure is carved into the soft sand. It is reminiscentof a three-armed candlestick, or three ears of grain sharing a common stem.<br>
<br>
3/3 Turquoise water in the foreground. A rocky island. Cliffs shoot up steeply and form an almost levelled plateau. In the centre of the picture, an almost perfectly semi-circular arch cut out of the stone by wind and water, making the cliff look like a bridge.<br>
Seabirds circle in the sky.<br>
