Peru - Huacachina Oasis

This morning we were picked up from our hotel in Nazca in a couple of old American cars, a Dodge and a Chevrolet, to drive along the Pan American highway to the Huacachina Oasis approximately 2 hours down the road. On the way we stopped off at the lookout point from where we could see two of the Nazca line formations, the Hands and the Tree.

At the Oasis we went cruising through the dunes of the Ica Desert on a dune buggy intermixed with some sand boarding. It was not quite as fun as Namibia but still a great way to spend the morning. After getting up close and personal with the sand we had lunch and chilled out by the pool for the afternoon. We then caught a local bus to Pisco, the home of the famous alcoholic drink, where we would spend the night.
