Just left Paracas now headed to Huacachina so technically this is our I
guess second leg of the Peru Hop bus experience and it's not too far away up
we an hour-and-a-half drive maybe to Huacachina
and that's a place that I'm really looking forward to the bathroom tour
before it gets too busy necessities you need number one only in this case it's a
urinal, mirror, toilet paper and hand sanitizer all you need
so we just arrived in our hostel and the line of the check-in is
very very long but hopefully we'll be able to check into our room very soon
but they simply loud hostel party here in wild rover
Huacachina
yeah you got the idea welcome to our room at the wild Rover hostel as you can
tell it's a little bit noisy out there we are right next to the DJ booth we
thought we'd try to get a place farther away but they didn't have any so it's
gonna be earplugs tonight but we're really happy to be here
hopefully the music will be off by I don't know 10 when I could highly doubt
but this place goes to like 1 or 2 a.m.
we checked in and we're gonna stay here for two nights and hopefully it's gonna
be a lot of activities that we can be doing in Huacachina room is tiny but is
what you need we've been dim lights a private bathroom
and the space with live music or at least the DJ music what else can you ask
for it's next to the Oasis
right we finally arrived in the famous Peruvian oasis of Huacachina and this is
actually smaller than I thought it's not really a big lake people keep
calling it Lake but it's supposed to be an oasis in the water is not as clean as
I thought would be it's just a bit green and there's a lot of you know ducks and
I'm not sure whether I would be swimming here but obviously kids being kids and
they'd swim around you could actually ran some of the small paddle boats that
you could go around or - and all the tourists now coming to Huacachina wish to
see this oasis but this really really small town and it's basically only one
major road surrounding this lake and later on tonight we're gonna go out to
watch the sunset at the dunes and of course like everywhere else in the world
every touristic place have a lot of restaurants
souvenir shops bathrooms everything together to tourists and Huacachina is
no different
always always always places like this is where you can get the authentic nice
good and cheap food, 10 soles meal seems like it's called I'm just reading
out the menu right here Carapulcra, Sopa seca, arroz con pollo, y Papa Huacachina
Carapulcra basically is a pork stew with dehydrated potatoes oh it's really good
it's like a lot of potatoes and you can definitely taste the pork in it so
creamy and so good and then it actually served with some kind of noodles with
shredded chicken on top of it and it's actually a cold noodle dish we are about
to climb up to one of the dunes to watch the sunset and also who are achieve a
from above so I'm going to climb up behind how often I'm gonna complain
about the whole time and this is where the road ends right here so this main
strip before that you know just ends and it continues on to the start getting
like pretty rough because it's all saying yeah did I mention I'm gonna be
complaining about it the whole time trust me all right let's go holla so
I've walked about 20 feet and I hate this already yes you want to
get all the way up there yes
we have about 20 minutes before the sunset and everybody is just waiting for
the magical desert of Huacachina right behind me there's a lot of dune buggies
that you can rent and they can take you all the way to different peaks here just
to claim to be one of the best you know magical sunset in Huacachina but we're
gonna climb up all the way to sort of maybe mid way because I'm not sure
whether we can make it all the way to the top and we're gonna show you a
magical drone shot of Huacachina
so far so good operation drone with since we had a little bit of problem at
the end get the thing to turn off but in the end Halef didn't get his fingers
cut off so we're good
it's getting noticeably cold yes
empty our shoes there's so much sand on my shoes now there you go
probably my socks too
you're gonna have to do the same thing oh I see
you'll find it in your bed later on your clothes jacket yeah
Traffic jam - everybody's trying to get out from Huacachina probably back to Ica with
just us yes we stopped by at the street vendor and then get like this for two
and a half soles yucca roots, potatoes, and eggs with a lot of mayonnaise on top
of it so it's gonna be good I'm gonna with mayonnaise so it can't be that bad
let me just say it's been sitting there a while
oh really yeah it's kind of cold maybe it's supposed to be we try the Papas
even though they're called they are good awesome
