We had been told to do sandboarding in Peru but we weren't sure exactly where until we met a couple that said we HAD to go to Huacachina, where we could sandboard and chill out for a little while. Huancacina is a part of the city of Ica, which is between Arequipa and Lima towards the coast, and is natural oasis surrounded by huge desert dunes.
For months, we had eaten whatever "breakfast" the hostel included in the price, which was usually bad bread with some jam. Here, none of the hostels included breakfast, which came as a blessing in disguise. We found this place with the biggest pancakes we have ever seen filled with fruit and topped with chocolate syrup (bc why not). Look how happy Scott is!
Most of the hostels did however have pools. Here is ours! We arrived at 7am, booked a sandboarding trip which didn't start until 4pm, perfect for us. We laid at the pool all day!

Surf's up dude!
Our dune buggy...riding in this was almost as much fun as sliding down the mountain of sand!
