Huancachina – Strange Oasis in the desert
... like a very good idea to break up the almost 28 hour bus ride from Trujillo. So here we are in the desert of southern Peru. This town is very strange - it’s a little oasis (i.e. sludgy lagoon) surrounded by towering sand dunes. When the wind whips ...

Ica & Huachachina

The trip to Ica
... and were picked up at our hotel at 6am. They took us to the bus station in Lima and put us on a nice chartered bus to Ica, a 4 hour ride. The country between Lima and Ica is the most desolate I've ever seen. In the Arizona and New Mexico deserts, you see ...
Ruminations from the desert
... ports on the reserve and I tried the famed Ceviche for the 1st time. It was amazing. I don´t know how I let myself be in Peru for a month with out having tried it. It´s basically raw fish (we got the mix, so it also had mussels, squid, and octapus) ...
Ica

Nazca-Ica-Huacachina
Desperately trying to maximize my rapidly numbered days in Peru, I took another night bus, my 3rd in 4 days, to Nazca. Granted, I'm going high class all the way, Cruz del Sur, which has the most pimped-out buses that beats an economy-class flight any day. ...

Ica, a city in the desert

Signs of life in the desert
... on sandboards. The dune buggy tour left from Huachina, a tiny oasis town (only 100 people) just outside of Ica. This is one of those towns that looks like it was built just for tourists. I like to think of it as the Niagara-on-the-Lake of ...
An unexpected detour to Ica, Peru

Ica & Huacachina
We kwamen in de voormiddag toe in het hectische Ica, waar we direct een taxi namen naar Huacachina, een bekende oase in de woestijn net buiten de stad. Na enkele kilometers tussen de zandduinen zagen we de oase verschijnen. Echt bizar hoe er midden in een ...
