An overnight bus trip from Huaraz immediately followed by escaping Lima on a bus brought us to Ica, a desert town close to Pisco, where the 'Poor Man's Galapagos' exist. 
We hopped bus and combi taxi (driven by a 16 year old with a 12 year old helping call for people into the little van...at one point the boy had to jump into the driver's seat, no big deal).
We joined a lovely boat tour (boat rides are amazing in the desert!) and went out to sea and encountered penguins, boobies, sea lions, pelicans, and many other birds. If you have any fear of the Hitchcock movie, I highly recommend you never come here.
