Huacachina

Huacachina, originally uploaded by fake fotos.

An oasis in the desert for the Peruvian elite. Now a backpacker´s delight. A very quiet little "town" of about 70 people who make their living off tourism. Hard to say how many pass through everyday, but it is teaming with an international surfeit of travellers, from the cheapest of cheapskates to the wealthiest of the wealthy.

Spent an inordinate amount of time at La Casa Avímoan. Great food and a very friendly staff.

Then there was the "booogy". Dune buggy rides through the vast expanse of sand dunes.
