Desert Oasis

We checked out of our airbnb and ubered to a 9am bus that would send us to Huacachina. Huacachina is a desert oasis turned party hostel central. There is little to do in the secluded desert town, but as we checked in after our 4 hour bus, we headed straight for the main activity, the dune buggys. These buggys send it up and over the endless sanddunes that surround the desert town. It is beautiful, and exciting, and very different to most other activities I've done over my travels. Additionally you get the chance to go sandboarding, which after a few small practice ones, culminated in an enourmas and steep sand dune. As you went down you gradually gained more and more speed. Before long you were going to fast to slow down and had no choice but to pull your feet out of the sand and charge down. Given it was a couple hundred metres long, you were sliding for a good 20 seconds, and the excitement was pretty unmatched. After this our driver took us to the sunset, where we sat and took some photos before continuing back to the town. On his way back our driver decided to kick it up a gear and truly belted the fucking buggy, flooring over sand dunes and speeding over the empty desert. This was a great experience and made the visit to huacachina worth it. The afternoon was spent playing beer pong and fuck the bus with Sarah. Although I had a shit day at beer pong, I will redeem myself. I ended up getting fucked up to the point I vomited in the shower and passed out watching F1.Read more
