Located in the Ica Province, near the city of Ica, Huacachina is known as the oasis of America, where many tourists come for the huge sand dunes and sandsurfing. The legend says the place was created by a princess caught bathing by a local hunter. The pool of water she left became a lagoon, while her mantle transformed into sand dunes. It is sayd that the princess inhabits the lagoon as a mermaid. Just wanted to share with you these amazing pictures:

Nice place, the lagoon is quite smelly though. dune surfing is great and so is the dune buggy rides.
the problem is that this place is very far and worth a visit only if you are on your way from Peru to Bolivia.
