... We had always wanted to go in the sand dunes while we were in Europe and it is here that our dream has become reality. Huacachina apart from its location, doesnīt offer a lot:  a lot of touristy places, touristy hostals and touristy food. But its ...

We got the bus to Ica, two hours from Nasca and then immediatley took a taxi out to Huacachina, which is an oasis in the middle of the biggest sand dunes I have ever seen in my life. The place was great and the hostel was really nice too, with a ...

... do Huacachiny. Tak som ho odbil, ze si najprv vytiahnem ruksak, ale nakoniec som sa nim nechal za par chechtacikov odviezt. Huacachina je malicka oaza uprostred puste kusok od Icy. V podstate je to cisto turisticke miesto, nemyslim si, ze tam ...

... . Our cab driver was nice enough to drive us around seeking other hostels, but alas. All were full. Our second choice, Hostal Salvatierra, also with a pool, was full for the week. We finally ended up at Hostal Rocha, a family-run property. It ...

... Salvatierra, but he said we should check out Hostal Rocha first and if we did not like it he would take us to Hostal Salvatierra. We had a quick look around and it seemed nice enough so we stayed, but in hindsight (seeing Salvatierra the following day) ...

This place is great!!! An oasis in the middle of massive sand dunes that go on for miles. When we arrived, we were informed about an afternoon dune buggy/sandboarding tour that sounded like good fun, so we decided to go for it. It was the first time that ...

... morning, we booked ourselves onto another bus south to Ica. After the 3 hours to Ica we caught a 5 minute mototaxi to Huacachina, a tiny village huddled around the banks of a small lagoon in the desert - population 112. Legend holds that the lagoon was ...

... few locals who said the south coast was pretty ordinary we decided to come up north towards lima and check out the famous Huacachina - with its towering sand dunes and smelly lagoon.. After about 11 hours on the bus, and sleeping surprisingly well, we ...

... ; 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 was a disappointment, and the economic recommendation ...

... Day hollidays, we spent a night in this dune-encircled town just outside of Ica. Not such a bad place to get stuck, Huacachina apparently used to be a ritzy resort town, but now is more of an overpriced backpacker hangout. The primary activity is ...

Huacachina has the only oasis in South America, a smelly lagoon surrounded by sand dunes. The water is supposed to be good for arthritis and the town consists of one street wrapped around the little lagoon. Itīs a very popular spot for ...

We went off other peoples` advice not to go sandboaring in San Pedro de Atacama but to save it for Huacachina... and they were spot on! I have never seen sand-dunes like it, they were so expansive and the dune buggy riding was absolutely wicked!!  ...

... but maybe slightly dangerous! We saw the sun setting out in the desert and the views were amazing. We then looked over Huacachina at sunset which is spectacular, it is a very random place but we are both glad on the recommendation to stop ...

After a 3 hour bus ride with bingo included we arrived in Paracas to find a hotel and book a boat tour for the next day. Ordered some noodles and found out that in Peru noodles tend to be just spaghetti. Up early on Wednesday morning for the boat ...
