Woah! Gnarly dudes. It was time to chill out for a couple of days. We caught one of the buses from Nazca to Ica that run every 30 mins and a taxi for 3 soles to the desert oasis of Huacachina.

Huacachina is famous for it`s mentalist dune buggy rides with equally as crazed drivers and is also home to the popular sport of sandboarding, whe...

We had the one of the best meals so far at an economic restaurant, La Sirena. The nightlife was whack (it was a Sunday), so we made up for it with ice cream. Everyone here is constantly eating ice cream, which explains the commonplace spare tire on even the skinny folks. Huacachina had a great climate and was very relaxing. Breakfast, as usual w...

Oh I want to tell you we just had the best day and night of the tour but feel like I've used that line too many times already and wouldn’t want to be put on the spot to actually choose one that was better than the others. You’ll just have to take my word for it that this was a very, VERY good day!!

This was the last night of o...

"So what happened next?" I hear you ask. Well after having been no more adventurous than a Papa John´s for dinner on our first day in Lima we decided to brave it a little the next day. You have already heard about the oddball chicken soup, but we thought we would continue with local cooking for that evening. We met a bunch of Asian Canadians at ...

After the mysterious Nazca Lines our next stop was the oasis town of Huacachina. In all our travels, this was our first ever oasis town and it was exactly how we imagined one to be - a lake surrounded by palm trees & sand dunes! We found a hostel, settled in and after exploring the village (5 minutes! There is only one small road that runs a...

Nous etant couches tot, nous nous levons avant la population festive de cette oasis. Apres un petit-dejeuner, j'entreprend l'ascencion d'une des dunes environnante (env. 70 m). Meme a 10h30, c'est horrible, le soleil tape, on s'enfonce sans cesse, la pente est de plus en plus raide, on veut alors s'aider de ses mains mais le sable est brulant, b...

Ff lekker relaxen in een kleine oase midden in de woestijn. Super relaxed hier!! Huacachina is een piepklein dorpje rond een klein meertje temidden van een woestijn/duinen gebied. Na een dagje rond het zwembad gehangen te hebben is het tijd om de duinen te gaan verkennen in een sandbuggy en te gaan sandboarden. Nadat we de voorste plaatsen in de...

Ica is blindingly hot. Zoe and I are now waiting to get on our next to bus to Arequipa after three sun and sand drenched days in the desert. Ica was said to be quite a depressing place to stay so we took a cheap mototaxi ride 5 minutes out of town to the much more fun, backpacker filled place of Huacachina. The scenery is just superb. Lining the...
