Huacachina

Huacachina is a little oasis in the desert right outside of Ica. The main industry seems to be dune buggy/sandboarding tours in the desert. The dune buggying is like a roller coast, only more fun and more sandy, and it lasts for a couple hours. After fifteen stomach churning minutes of driving, the driver would pull up to a particularly high dune, turn to us, and say "sundbord!" We tried strapping our feet to the boards, but in the end it worked better when we just lay down on our stomachs and shot down the hills like sandy tobogganing (how the hell do you spell that?). If we had arrived two days later we would have been able to watch the South American downhill slalom sandboarding championships. We're not kidding.

Tomás showing us how it's done.

On the other side of the buggy it said House of Sand in Spanish (Case de Arena) but with hebrew letters.

Another buggy.

You said it.
