Today we headed out of Lima early to avoid traffic and to make it to Huacachina in time for the game. It was an uneventful drive, as we like it, heading south about 5 hours to arrive at our desert oasis. Literally the town of Huacachina is in the middle of a desert - such a different climate than Lima and Las Lomas. We got checked into our hostel, Las Bananas, and grabbed lunch. The boys settled in just time time for the Peru vs. Brasil game in the South American World Cup final. The girls went off exploring and shopping. Peru ended up losing 2-1, but still impressive to be in the finals - first time in 44 years!!
The atmosphere at Las Bananas is pretty chill - some took naps in the hammocks, others just relaxed - a nice change of pace. As we ate a late lunch, we didn't get much for dinner, and the girls settled themselves in the TV room for some scary movies.
Tomorrow is dune day!!!
