An amazing oasis lagoon in the desert

If you go to Ica, the Huacachina desert oasis and village is a must to do, to visit this amazing lagoon in the middle of the desert and climb up the sand dunes. One can also ride dunes buggies or go sand boarding. It’s a fun visit, there are also restaurants and shops around the lagoon to just hang out for the day.

Little oasis amongst the mighty dunes
This is a quick stop along the drive to Nazca lines. Try to get here around sunset 5 pm in winter. Climb the sandy dune to view the sunset, and the oasis. Then walk to the laguna and enjoy the reeds, boats, mermaid statue and walk around. Tons of vendors, restaurants. We had a driver along the way so he was in the car while we hung out. We got some souvenirs. Beautiful jewelry. It was a nice experience

In the middle of the desert
This lake can be found in the centre of Huacachina and is a definite must see if visiting Ica or Huacachina itself. The lake is beautiful and one can rent a boat or swim in its waters. The lake itself is lined with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes and is a very peaceful area in which to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink. The lake is right next to the desert's sand dunes in which there is lots to do nearby such as dune buggying and sandboarding.
