Q. Which region is renowned for natural guano fertilizer deposits?
Answer: Coastal headlands and islands of Peru
Notes: Coastal headlands and islands of Peru, especially the Chincha Islands, are known for rich guano deposits.

The Humboldt Current supports abundant seabird populations that produce the guano deposits.
