Ica: home of the pisco and sandboarding

So after Cuzco we had a few days to spend in Lima and around. We decided to take a 4 hour bus ride to the south to land in the city of Ica. We managed to score a last minute couch (thanks Ricardo) in a little room where the walls were all decorated by previous couchsurfers, so we left our mark too:)

Next day we headed for Huacca China, which is famous as being a little oasis in the middle of a desert, where one can do sandbuggy ride and sandboarding combined. And so did we:)

To cool off, we took a dip in the pool of one of the many hostels of the oasis, then headed for some pisco distillery visit. A funny Dutch guy was trying to sell us the visit at inflated prices, but as soon as we sat in a taxi by ourselves, the prices got 50% cheaper:)
