Huacachina, Peru: Must Do Day Trips from Lima

[@mariogutierrezc]

I am following all of your videos in Peru. I really love the way you describe your experience. Very professional filming and editing video. It all with a little of elegance and a lot of feelings. Thanks .

This looks like such a fun day! It seems like it was one thrill after another. Those sand boarding hills were huge...not sure if I would have worked up the courage to slide down those!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

It was phenomenal! Getting soaked on the boat ride wasn't ideal, but I dried quickly. It was only the final dune that provided a drop, which caused me to question whether I should do it. You could control speed by digging your feet into the sand, though, so it wasn't like you were totally out of control. Such a fun day!

Thanks, I am heading to Peru in July, I am doing this activity prior to my main tour. I end up with visiting with family at the end of the trip.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

You are going to have a fantastic time! Remember, try to be one of the first to the boat, so that you can get a seat towards the front. You will thank me later!

Wow awesome sand dunes! Peru is an amazing country, I fell in love with it so much that I traveled 2 times in a row. Are you planning a trip to Iquitos (Amazon) or Cuzco? I really enjoy your videos, you are great narrator and presenter!

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

That is so nice of you to say! I stuck close to Lima on this trip, with the excursion to Huacachina thrown in. I would love to come back and explore a lot more of the country in the future. Thank you for watching!

❤😮❤love your trip, what a nice adventure! Very well narrated ❤thank you ❤

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

It was such a fun day! Looking back, it was hard to believe we packed that much into such a short period of time.

Thank you very much for visiting my country, I just have a clarification about the name of the desert, it is not Atacama (which belongs to Chile), its correct name is the Desert of Ica.

[@oldaloneandfarfromhome]

I knew it was called the region of Ica, but I didn't know that the Desert of Ica was a name also given to the place. You are right that while some say the Atacama extends into Peru, others contend it's a totally different ecosystem than the Atacama in Chile. Thanks for watching and thanks for inspiring more research on my part!
