What happens

In Paracas, Peru, the dry desert runs straight into a cold blue ocean, and penguins (Pip's cousins!) waddle along the rocks. A giant Candelabra is drawn in the sand on the hill, the Ballestas Islands are covered in birds, and an Inca tern with a curly white mustache steals the ball.

Fun facts

  • Humboldt penguins live where cold ocean water meets the desert.
  • The Inca tern has a long white curly mustache.
  • Nobody knows exactly who drew the giant Candelabra in the sand.
