18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A small group of pelicans resting while we are passing by

I have been an animal lover since I was a kid and anything that can be related with them is fascinating. It was my first time in South America and this time, I decided to travel to Peru. Such an impressive wild life and natural environment in this wonderful country. I selected to do a nice tour to see the seals and pelicans among other animals while being in a boat. This tour was made to visit from far the Ballesta islands and it was worthy. I could not stop thinking how lucky I was for being there seeing these wonderful animals. I remember well the sound of the sea and the animals when I was taking the pictures. Just magical. Having this current situation worldwide, it makes me feel very fortunate I lived that experience I will never forget.
