The Huaura Islands are an archipelago of uninhabited islands and islets in the Pacific Ocean off Peru, in the Lima Region, centered near 11 degrees 24 minutes south, 77 degrees 45 minutes west. The group includes seven named islands and islets, the largest being Mazorca Island, which rises to about 78 meters and carries a lighthouse. The islands support large seabird colonies, including guanay cormorants, Peruvian boobies and Humboldt penguins.
