6. Ica Dunes
Ica is fairly big town. It sits about 40km from the shore and everything in between are dunes and desert. And right west of the town is a small oasis of Huacachima. It is like a scene from a Hollywood movie set, except this is real. Pretty magical. There suppose to be another mermaid living in the lagoon. I am highly sceptical. BTW, those dunes are MASSIVE and made out of the finest sand which goes everywhere. Just ask my camera! But this is definitely another highlight of the trip.
