Peru - Huacachina - Riding Sand-dune buggies and Sand-boarding

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

The Dunes

On route to Nazca we stopped at Huacachina to go riding on a Sand-dune buggy and Sand-board. Was amazing! Was at the back and screamed quite a bit! We went really fast and at one point really thought we would not make it over one dune. The views were stunning against the blue sky! We stopped on the dunes and did 4 sand-boards. Each time the dune was steeper and longer! One of the guys who wake boards and kite surfs was going too fast and fell off! I managed to stay on!

SAV! Not sure that a Land Rover could get over the dunes! but thank goodness we arrived back in one piece!

We also saw how Pisco Sour was made and sampled a few drinks.

The bus from Pisco on the coast to Nazca inland was about 3 hours going through amazing scenery of mountains, valleys and oases. The roads through the mountains were winding and steep in some places.
