Huacachina Lagoon, Ica

Huacachina is an oasis lagoon just outside of Ica, surrounded by incredible sand dunes. In the last 20yrs the water level of the lagoon has drastically reduced and instead of being a deep turqoise blue the water is a brown green colour.

It was ferociously hot first thing this morning (I wish I had stayed longer as Nasca is hot, dusty and a one horse town). Before the 3 hour bus journey to Nasca I visited the excellent Museo Regional de Ica and learnt about the drug- taking- hallucinating tribes of Nasca & tonight there is a lecture about the Nasca Lines at the Hotel Nasca- all ready for my flight over the Nasca lines tomorrow morning!
