Take me to the oasis dahling ....

Nestled amoungst giant sand dunes and next to a cute lagoon, Haucachina is sand-boarding paradise. Stuart and I hung out at the oasis for a couple of days, had a wicked time on the dunes and checked out the local vineyards hiccccuppp....

Now you might not think Peru is widely known for it's fine wines and champagne ... and rightly so. The wine was rank but after a few glasses and a shot of Pisco who cares!

Anyone thinking of going to Haucachina, don't stay at Hostal Rocha. The beds are manky and the owner is rude. Stay at the hostal overlooking the lagoon which offers friendly trip advice....
