Sandboarding and that
... sand from my nooks and crannies for about a week afterwards. We passed by an Oasis on the way back and stopped at a nice hotel to sample some seafood and have a swim.
Our next stop was a Pisco winery where we learnt about the brewing process and how they develop the different varieties. Obviously the best bit was the sampling at the end where we were taught different Quecha ways of saying cheers. The next stop was Paracas, a small town on the ...
Sand Boarding and A Stomach Churning Flight!
A short taxi journey from a town called Ica lies the tiny oasis of Huacachina. With a lagoon in the middle and a backdrop of rolling sand dunes we both felt a million miles away from London. We stayed in a great hostel complete with a pool (which they drained on our first day!) and a pet tortoise.

As we raced against the dying light over uneven dunes causing dropping stomachs and rousing cheers from each bouncing dune buggy we knew the next stop in our adventure was that much closer to the original quest, the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Another jump in elevation was required to better acclimatize our bodies for the hike and a strict no-alcohol edict was about to be put ...
Las Islas Ballestas
... and pelicans playing near the plethora of fishing boats in the harbour. About an hour and a half after arriving we booked a bus ride out for the following day. Back at the hostel we made instant ramen noodles with carrots and peas for dinner. Another early bedtime and morning alarm would hopefully make us healthier and wiser.
The morning was calm and grey. A number of us waited around the hostel to hear if the tour boats were ...
