Huacachina the adrenaline capital of Peru
I can't breath
and one of the most unique looking
destinations on the planet from
sandboardubg dune buggies, epic scenes
and adventure, this place is incredible
welcome to Huacachina baby!
I'm not sure I can do this again
I would never do it because I'm too scared
but I'm going to do it
it feels like we're in the twilight zone
with this colour
I'm all for that
what is happening guys we're Craig and
Aimee and you are watching Kinging-It
and for the next 48 hours we're going to be
staying at an oasis in the middle of the
desert
now I'm *** to myself and there's a
fella coming to pick me up in two
minutes
you didn't enjoy that?
Did I enjoy it
this little gem has been on our bucket
list for a long time nestled between
enormous sand dunes, this is the world
famous Huacachina in southwest Peru
if you've ever wondered what it's like to
stay in this oasis then we're about to
show you
if you're new around here we
are Craig and Aimee and if you're watching
this video for travel tips and how to do
things the right way you've found the
right channel
this is absolutely ridiculous
we've got to go to court
as you can see we have it all under control
so click subscribe and press the bell
and come and travel with us through Peru
[music]
so ever since I've seen this picture shout
out to our mates Nick and Hannah I knew
that we had to come here immediately I
had no idea what to expect I just knew
we had to come
[music]
so if you're as nosy as I am which I
know you are you're going to want to
know what it's like inside the oasis do
people live here?
how do you get here?
don't you worry, we're going to show you
to get here we jumped on the Peru bus
from Lima to Ica, which cost about $12
and took four and a half hours, it was
super comfy
we then took a really cool tiny cab for
around 15 minutes from Ica to Huacachina
as we approached the dunes came out of
nowhere we could not believe how big
they were
so first we're going to
explore the actual oasis on our own boat
can you swim? babes
what I want to say is
excuse me sir as you can see I've got a
lush dress on is there any chance I
could go on the boat without the life
jacket she's gonna ruin it I can swim
bro I can swim that's what we do we just
let him take it hold it out let him take
it
gracias
okay so this is hacks for to just go on
to the oasis
oh okay cool
and then you pay for the boat as well
nice
before we boarded the boat we were asked
to take part in a photo shoot for a local
campaign
you wanna you want a zing
we applied
did we just vote in Huacachina's general
election?
yeah cool we're gonna get fire today
Craig
you need a bit of wd-40 I'm
telling you
it's so rusty
so you get 20 minutes for 30 soul
how much is that?
they've seen us
coming didn't they?
we probably could have bought this for
30 souls
it's about six quid I think
well it's lucky we haven't got far to go
enjoy your experience Craig, I can't
quite believe we're in the middle of it
okay when I saw the picture I didn't
know
if there was any civilization here now
we're in the middle of the oasis on a
pedal for six quid
can't get wrong I got wrong Craig
hi can we rent the slowest boats
in Peru, please
we got the speed now all the rest has
come up
[Music]
so the one thing I am buzzing about with
this place is I didn't realize until I
got here but this is like an adrenaline
junkies dream so you can go on dune
buggies you can go sand boarding you can
go on quad bikes and atvs through the
desert and there's one thing that I've
signed up for later on
yeah
and I'm breaking it yolo in it rule your own
world
and what a place to do it
[music]
lovely that lovely little afternoon now
I also didn't know that there'd be loads
of shopping but and there are people
that live here
really?
guess how many?
thousands
there's a hundred people that live in
Huacachina yeah I thought that was really
cool and another fact there's virtually
no rainfall
ever
that's my kind of place
your kind of place it's kind of
hot for me it's about 27
today in it
and here we see the captain bee
in her natural environment
buying more *** that she doesn't need
and if you're vegan do not fret because
we found the bestest most tastiest place
just off the main circle called la casa
de bamboo
[Music]
what you'll find with Huacachina is that
it is way too hot in the afternoon to do
anything so we headed for the pool
[Music]
some earthquakes convinced me to go sand
boarding on the dunes for sunset in a
way I think it's quite romantic they're
higher than you think I've just had a
massive spaghetti bolognese as well
[Music]
right come on then don't break anything
makes it look easy
bare in mind Craig used to skate
no balance banister that's what Craig
calls me
this should be fun
how do I get on it without starting?
so lay back
oh my God
[Music]
I knew it she's a natural
I should'nt have had that spaghetti bolognese
[Music]
ready
no
should I go in front?
now go on your belly if you want fun
how how
oh
ready grab your straps
grab my straps
let's go
[Music]
feels like we're in the twilight zone
with this color
this is crazy
ready
yeah
3, 2, 1
[Music]
morning trev
morning
looking summery in your little
dress
I know
come from like jumpers and jeans and
stuff in the UK to
sun cream
the great vibe here in there
it's like Magaluf in the middle of the
desert
yeah I wasn't quite sure what to
expect but it's popping
so this is our
room where we stayed
last night, it's not a bad
little resort the only problem is the
walls are super thin so guy next door
snored all night, so that was fun and you
can hear everything in the night this is
called eco camp it's got a swimming pool
breakfast is included so this morning
we're going to hike to the top of one of
the sand dunes you can't wait for this
can you?
can we get a lift?
like there's loads of buggies that go up
can we just go excuse me here's five
dollars can you take us they're massive
like I knew I've seen pictures of this
place it's absolutely incredible and I
just thought you know take a little walk
up to the top but they're they're the
biggest we've ever seen bigger than the
Sahara desert
unbelievable
coming in you're just surrounded by
these huge it they look like walls but
they're just sand dunes it just sets the
vibe for this place doesn't it
really cool
all right the sun's too hot to go
barefoot so we're going back to our
shoes
look at the scenes though you're just
surrounded by this is where we're
staying and we're just surrounded by
these dunes it's so epic, oh we've got
our shoes on let's do this
nobody bought flip-flops did we?
no
I don't know why
that was a welsh sentence of all time
nobody brought flip flops did we?
having a working time on your holidays
babes
I hate it
all right we've come to the dune buggy
station captain b's given up on the walk
and she wants to lift to the top they're
gonna go and do some bartering it turns
out they don't just do lifts to the top
they do full tours so uh we're gonna do
that tomorrow
so for now today we've gotta keep on
walking come on get your little summer
dress I only look lush at the top
the battery just died
are you serious?
[Music]
so we didn't quite get to the top but uh
enjoying the view from by here
of course you didn't you're with me
uh captain who
is not signing up for that today
everybody I know they're gonna go mad in
the comments like you're supposed to be
pushing a wheelie bin the length of
whale soon I get it but in Wales it will
not be 28 degrees
it might be it's going
to be the summer
I really hope not
but I just honestly can't get over it some
of these sand dunes are 550 meters tall
it's unreal so we're just sat here on
our little towel
just taking it all in it feels so
exciting to know that travels
opening back up you know countries are
opening back up and
the world is our oyster again and your
oyster so
yeah booker triplands it's the only way
that's the only way to be happy
you know what time it is?

whatsapp the guy who sent me a few
voice notes and said bring ninety
dollars
