    Lima/Travel to Huacachina

    April 3, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    We said goodbye to Peru’s capital and boarded a bus on route to the desert city of Huacachina.

    We arrived in the town of Ica before boarding a short bus to the desert oasis of Huacachina - simply incredible!

    Huacachina is surrounded by massive sand dunes with just one road in and out. We checked into our hotel which was right next to the edge of the oasis with a huge sand dune right next to the pool.

    We then jumped onto dune buggies which took us on what felt like a roller coaster ride (see GoPro footage once uploaded!) to explore the vastness of the desert. It was truly incredible and we stopped to do some sand boarding down the dunes. Gab went down on her stomach and sitting and Daniel had a go "surfing"! Lots of fun.

    We sat on top of the buggies and watched the sunset over the desert which was so stunning!

    We then came back to the hotel for a much needed dinner (after not having lunch!) We went in the pool and hung out with our group before going to bed.
