Nazca Lines, Ica, and Huacachina.

This weekend (Thursday-Saturday night) I went on a trip with 2 friends to Huacachina and Nazca. It was a pretty awesome weekend. Ica/ Huacachina is about 4.5 hours away from Lima so we took a bus (for a whopping 30 soles). Ica is the town but we spent most of the time in Huacachina, which is basically a lagoon.  We were really only there all day Friday and Saturday. My friend and I got sick on Saturday so all we did was the Nazca Lines and Sandboarding. Yes! I went sandboarding.

Our hostal room. Private. Only S/30

The captains.

Excited!

Scared. And Excited.

Scared and Nervous

Look closely. It's the martian.

The lagoon.

Dunes!

Que lindo!

Let's do this!

I was feeling EXTREME!

In all...minus the little virus. The weekend was amazing. The tiny plane was a little too intense. And the lines were kind of hard to see because it's the dry season. I enjoyed the lines but it was a little too expensive (S/300) to say I would do it again. Six passenger planes are only once in a lifetime for me. I would definitely go sand boarding again. The dune buggy was almost more fun than the actual sandboarding. Sand was everywhere...including my mouth. But well worth it!
