We have spent the last few days in Ica, Peru's city of "eternal sunshine", where the sun has indeed been shining down strongly. Our original plan was to skip from one town to another, staying first in Nazca to see the lines, then in Ica to taste some wine and finally in Paracas to see all the birds. However, when we caught the overnight bus from …

What makes Huacachina special is not that it's in the desert; so is most of the south coast of Peru. But it's not an oasis and it's not surrounded by huge sand dunes, some of them more than a hundred meters tall – at least that's my estimation, that means, give or take fifty meters.
