Since our last entry we have now travelled through the desert of Peru while making our way to Santiago Chille for Christmas to visit our coworkers from Vancouver, Maria and Alan.
We are now in Haucachina. This place is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Muy bonita. It is the biggest desert I have ever seen. The sand dunes are hugh, up to 2000 meters.
Here we rented sand boards and a dune buggy ride to take us through the desert flying over the dunes at crazy speeds. Our driver Chopong is the best driver in the desert. It is crazy, how we race the other buggies over the dunes, cutting each other off and nearly crashing into one another. Here the sand dunes go as far as the eye can see. Over 100kms, and right in the middle of the desert there is an amazing lagoon which is the most beautiful oasis. Our hostel is on the Lagoon, and with a pool and pool bar, surrounded by hammocks. $5 each per night. Sweet deal.
