After 3 months living in the beautiful, but very grey skies of Lima, we decided an escape to find some sun was in order! Just a short four hour bus ride away is the town of Ica, where you can venture into the sand dunes and the desert oasis of Huacachina. We booked the bus through cruzdelsur which offered super comfortable seats, personal televisions and snacks!
Here, the main attraction is renting buggies and sandboarding down the dunes (kind of like snowboarding but in the sand)! If you aren’t ready to stand on a snowboard, you can ride down on your belly, which is just as fun! For a real treat, wake up early and climb the dunes at sunrise to take in the incredible views.
