Chincha Islands

The Chincha Islands (Spanish ''Islas Chincha'') are a group of three small islands off the southwest coast of Peru, to which they belong, near the town of Pisco. They were of interest for their extensive guano deposits, but the supplies were mostly exhausted by 1874.
The largest of the islands, ''Isla Chincha Norte'', is long and up to wide, and rises to a height of . ''Isla Chincha Centro'' is almost the same size as its neighbour to the north, while ''Isla Chincha Sur'' is half the size of its neighbours. The islands are mostly granite, and bordered with cliffs on all sides, upon which great numbers of seabirds nest.
The islands were once the residence of the Chincha people, but only a few remains are to be found today. Peru began the export of guano in 1840. Spain, not having recognized Peru's independence (it was not to do so until 1879) and desiring the guano profits, occupied the islands in April 1864, setting off the Chincha Islands War (1864–1866).
