After arriving in Ica we needed to take a five minute taxi to a little place called Huacachina. Huacachina is located in the middle of the desert and is well known for sand- boarding and sand buggying. When we arrived the weather was great and the place looked amazing. We were completely surrounded by desert!! After we checked in to our hotel we were all pretty tired after our long bus journey so we just relaxed and looked around the place.
For the next 3 days we went sand boarding!! It was really cool to be in the middle of the desert. We would go out in a buggy and drive extremely fast up and down the sand doons. It really did feel like a rollercaster ride at times!! We would stop every so often at some steep slopes and board down them. At the end of each trip we would get the sunset, which was amazing!! In the evenings we would just head out for dinner and take it easy.
When we had all the sand boarding out of our system (for now) we decided it was time to move on. We headed back to Ica and caught a 4 hour bus ride to Lima. When we arrived in Lima we had to wait a few hours to catch our night bus to Mancora.
Huacachina Done!!
