So it turns out that the entire coast of Peru is basically one big ugly boring desert. On our way north we stayed at a little oasis near Ica which was a nice quite change after the busy party atmosphere of Cusco.


The really cool thing about this place was the sand surfing. Not even the actual sand surfing so much as the dune buggies that we went sand surfing in. Hooning around dunes in a wee kart is great fun. We didnīt get to drive or anything but given that they were going straight down vertical slopes that was probably a good thing!
