We arrived in Huacachina at approximately 10:30pm and were greeted by out Kristy our wonderful Hostal owner. She picked us up from the bus station as promised and took us back to the Hostal and then showed us a great restaurant for dinner.
Saturday morning we woke up had breakfast and then climbed one of the sand dunes that surround the small Oasis of Huacachina. It proved to be difficult as the sand is soft and you slide down a bit with each step taken.
After the climbing the sand dune we hung around the area and went to the shops and took a boat ride in the lagoon. We also got a chance to meet the CCS group from Ayachucho who happened to be eating lunch at the Hostal we stayed at. It was a coincidental meeting but I’m glad I got a chance to meet them.
At approximately 4pm we loaded into the dune buggy and took a ride through the desert. The dune buggy ride was extremely exciting and was more fun than expected. We also went sand-boarding in which you slide down the sand dune on a snowboard. This was also fun yet dangerous as we had a scare when a person in our group took a fall. We ended this day by watching the sun set over the sand dunes and then headed back to the Hostal for dinner.
