Day 7 - Huachachina
We board a bus the next day at 5 am for a day trip to Huachachina. Huachachina is a desert oasis in Peru, about a 4 hour bus ride from Lima. We used Peru Hop for our day trip to go sandboarding.
What is sandboarding? Literally what it sounds like - boarding on sand!

We
rode sand buggies to hills and hills of sand where we slid down on our
boards. It was such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I cannot describe
the enrapturing beauty of never-ending sand as you're drifting down a
hill. The adrenaline!

| Bye, Huachachina! You have been so good to us. |
After a long and fulfilling day, we ride the 4 hour bus back to Lima. We ate at Larcomar, the nearby mall, and ate lomo saltado, ceviche, and lots of pisco sours!
