Where are we, Pearl?
This is Huacachina
What's special about this place?
It's a desert oasis!!
Let's have a look....
Today, we take PeruHop from Paracas
to stay a night in Huacachina
It takes about one and a half hour
The desert hills from a far
it's getting closer and closer
We stay at Banana's Adventure Hostel
about 2000 Baht per night
This is a view from our hostel
You can see huge sand dunes around you
The reason we stay here is
It has a free tour include in our package
which is Dune buggy and sandboarding tour
Who loves adventurous
we recommend you to sit at the back of the buggy!!
because it is very bumpy and fun
How was it?, Tired!!
We also recommend you to go to the buggy tour at latest
Because you can see the sunset in the dune
for us, this is another highlight
which is so stunning!!
Yay!!! a new day!!!
we wake up very early planning to see sunrise
with the desert oasis view.....but!
Where are we, Pari?
we are on the dune
we climbed up to see sunrise
and the oasis
and what's happen?
The oasis covered by The Mist!!
we might have to wait for awhile
We waited for awhile but the mist wasn't go anywhere
So we change our plan, by going down and climb another dune on the other side
How high that we climbed?
I think we climbed like 10-floor building 4-5 times
Pearl : Tired?
Pari : Nah....
Pearl: I think I'm going to faint!!
Wowww!! That is how high we climbed!!
crazy!!
Just for these views.........
We just got down from..... over there!
That's where we said the 10-floor building 3 times
look at my hand!
From there......to there
and then we got down this way
this way might easier...
Almost time to say goodbye to Huacachina
So we wandering around the town and have lunch before heading out
Huacachina in Quechua means
the woman who cries and apparently for her lost love.
there is a legend that before Huacachina existed
There is a beautiful virgin lady
love brushing her hair and looking at herself in the mirror
had a pact with a god that she would never fall in love with anyone
But one day she fell in love a man
which made the god angry and turned her into a mermaid
the mirror crashed to the ground and created the Huacachina lagoon
when there is a full moon
she will come out at night to sing
to the single men that pass by trying to take them into the lagoon.
near the mermaid statue
goosebumps!!!
Next stop... Let's try some Pisco
a practical container that used in the elaboration of pisco
Not only for saving money,
the reason that we choose to take a bus is
to see the view and the way of life of locals
another highlight,
They allow 10 people a time to go up the tower
to see the famous mystery Nazca lines
which covered around  520 sq.m.
Tree
Hand
after this, we continues taking a bus
stop to have dinner at Nazca
and then take a long sleep on the bus
in the morning, we stop at the morning market
for breakfast and altitude sickness pills
This route ascends gradually to
Lake Lagunillas which is
4250m above sea level
stop for a buffet lunch before stop at Cusco
