Huacachina Hostels - Reviews and Rates

A long time ago in the country that would become Perú lived a people called the Nazca with amazing powers of seeing the future. They could see that Perú would one day become a major tourist destination with highlights in Cuzco, Puno, and Arequipa. But, they thought, there will be nothing of interest along the coast! So they went into the desert ...

In the morning we ate only small amounts because we were going to Nazca airport at 10am for our eagerly-anticipated flight over the Nazca Lines. After Juan gave us a lift to the airport and we had paid airport tax we were soon waiting patiently outside for our slot. After half an hour or so we were called over and made our way across the air fie...

Anoche llegamos a Lima, y hoy tempranito salimos hacia el sur por la Panamericana. Hay muchísima niebla, pero igual se pueden entrever infinidad de "pueblos jóvenes" - o villas miserias - donde los pobres toman un sector de tierra árida, erigen una frágil vivienda sin servicios de electricidad ni de agua, izan una bandera peruana y después de un...

Um die sonst etwa 18 stuendige Busfahrt in Richtung Lima zu unterbrechen bot sich als erstes der kleine Ort Huacachina inmitten der Sandwueste an. Huacachina hat urspruenglich etwa 200 Einwohner und liegt nett angelegt um eine kleine Lagune inmitten der hier vorherrschenden Sandwueste. Umringt von riesigen Sandduenen ist der Ort nunmehr sehr tou...

After almost exactly two months spent at altitude we got back to sea level at Huacachina, a tiny (pop. 200) little oasis famous for the humongous (how the hell do you spell that?) sand dunes which surround it. Our first day was spent simply swinging in hammocks in the hostel and taking advantage of the bar's most excellent promotion, basically r...

What a FUN day here in Huacachina!!! Oh my!!! I went on a sand boarding tour... and it was amazing! One of the highlights in the adventure department that is for sure. I am not quite sure what was better or more exciting- the dune buggy ride or the sand boarding! Our dune buggy driver was a maniac and we had so much fun flying over the dunes- ca...

Huacachina is a small village surrounding an oasis and set among the world´s largest sand dunes. However, far from providing respite from the bustle of Lima, its a centre for all sorts of adventure activities. Among opther things, I join a sandboarding expedition. The boarding itself though is no match to the exhilarating dune buggy trip over in...

Only one hour from Pisco, we quickly got a cab from Ica to Huacachina and arrived by 2pm. I was never sure of what an Oasis was, but I am now. Huacachina is completely surrounded by massive sand dunes. We went from the Pacific Coast to the middle of the Sahara desert (so it seems) in just over an hour. The "village" is very small, only with host...

We slept in today til about 11am Peru time. We were thinking that we would take the Nasca tour but both Eva and I just could not get out of bed. I think it's just my body needing it's sleep as I haven't slept enough the past 2 weeks and with more trekking in the near future, it was best that we listen to our bodies. We were so tired we slept thr...

Hola from Huacachina! So we stuck to the itinerary and decided to leave today after an awesome stay at Bed and Breakfast Tradiciones in Miraflores. It´s a great place to stay if you´re in Lima and they are so very helpful. We slept in a it, mostly Eva as she is fighting a cold and took meds to help her sleep. And when we woke up, we had breakfas...
