Huacachina

So we are now in Huacachina a desert oasis in Peru. It is amazing the difference the Homboldt current makes that instead of being rainforest like Colombia was, Peru is mostly desert this side of the Andes. All due to a cool ocean current travelling up Chile and Peru’s coast.

Yesterday after we arrived we had a relaxing afternoon around the oasis only climbing a sand dune for the sunset. Today we took a dune buggy ride and did some sand boarding (basically sledging on sand) and again enjoyed a lovely sunset,

A lovely place with lots of energy including school kids on school trips. Very different to anywhere else we have been on this trip.Read more
