Haucachina and Ica

Upon arrival in Peru we figured it would be easy to see all of Peru, however we have quickly realized with Mountains in the way, and some poor road conditions, we could move quicker hitching a ride on the back of a Llama. Therefore we have decided to focus on the southern half of Peru.

First stop is Haucachina which is a tiny little lake in the middle of the desert. Not sure how it got here, but none the less it is nice. We went on a dune buggy ride far into the dunes flying off of sand dunes at 80 km/hr. Renee was screaming excitedly, while I quietly enjoyed (that’s what I was trying to portray on the outside). DAM SCARY SHIT. Also attemtped the sandboarding (Snowboarding on Sand). Great rush!

Peruvian Winery

Today we went on a 4 hour wine tour. I guess the goal in Peru is to get the visitors stumbling drunk in hopes they buy bottles of wine at the end. Didn´t work. Enough wine for one day. Great tour, three very interesting vineyards and an awesome tourguide William who cranked Brian Adams for us - thinking we loved that shit because we´re Canadian.

Climbed a dune at sunset, 45 minutes up, 45 seconds down…you know how hard it is to climb sand?!?!?
