So it's 4:30 in the morning. I'm just waking up I'm heading to La Cucina today
It's a 4-hour van ride to get there so it should be quite an adventure. So
stay tuned!
We're walking over to the co-working space to jump on a bus supposed to be a
four hour bus ride so we'll see how that goes this was a little late but
eventually me and the remote your crew headed out of the city towards waka
Chino once out of this city you have picturesque beach views for about three
or four hours of traveling after about three hours in we ran into just a little
bit of trouble just outside of our van is like semi broken down and Iike our
driver it's putting some water in it so hopefully we'll still make it to La
Cucina if not there's a beach behind here probably hit up the beach
well we're waiting for my driver to fix the van let me tell you a little bit
about waka Chino while Kachina is a beautiful oasis town out in the middle
of the Peruvian desert most people don't realize how big Peru actually is so let
me show you Peru relative to the United States so as you can see it'd be like
driving from the top of Minnesota to the bottom of Louisiana if you drove from
the top of Peru to the bottom of Peru so Peru's a pretty big country here's the
drive we're doing today from Lima Peru South about four and a half hours to
waka chena so let's go see if the vehicle is good to go and get back on
the road the rest of the drive was pretty uneventful Peru's coastline is
comprised of about 3,000 kilometers of deserts peaches and Bowie's our scenery
the rest of the drive turned from beaches to mostly desert because it gets
so hot in the desert you don't want to go sand boarding until later in the
evening so on the way to la cucina we stopped at the town of pica to definite
full real quick cool off and have lunch out here and you can see the sand dune
in the background after the temperature dropped we jumped in the van and headed
into waka tena to do some sand boarding to be honest with you I was a little
disappointed when we first got there because there was a lot of commercial
activity and I thought it would be more isolated but once
got through that first ring of shops and touristy type of stuff and we made it to
the Oasis and the sand is it was actually pretty beautiful and exactly
what I expected actually probably a little bit better than I expected
so next me and the remote year crew hiked up the first sand dune to find our
dune buggy most of us had never sand boarded before so we weren't quite sure
what to expect so roughly you walking Tina buggy area
we're about to jump onto buggies and go sand boarding let me see what happens
frigging awesome we get ready to go Sam 14 and hopefully that'll be pretty epic
I know rated underrated we done the dogs on destiny of underrated on the radio we
darn it I rose up goat in my soul it's a gold rush honor and freedom I toast up
kicking game on the snare drum I don't let be let it bleed out like
sacrifices cut it open
any idea
after sandboarding we drew to the highest dude to watch the sunset and it
was pretty evident
after the beautiful sunset me and the remote year crew headed back to the
Oasis
well wopatina doesn't have the same fame and notoriety as Machu Picchu or rainbow
mountain I still highly recommend going there it's a lot of fun and it's
beautiful there's a really cool backpacker adventure sport type vibe to
walk a cheetah and I didn't stay the night there but at some point I would
like to I think it'd be a really cool place to spend a couple days I mention
this before I'm traveling with a program called remote year and over the next 12
months we'll be travelling to 12 different countries one of the items
that's included as part of your monthly fee is a monthly track of them in remote
year you get one track of it a month sometimes you get a choice which track
of it you want to choose but this month we only had one track event which was
sand boarding and dune buggying and Waka Tina but I thought it was great so I was
happy with it next month in Chile we have a choice of which track event we
want to do we can either do whitewater rafting or toro winery if you enjoyed
this video please smash that like button my next few videos should be pretty epic
because I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and then I hiked the rainbow
mountain and I also explored the city of Cusco which is my favorite city of Peru
