Nasca & Huacachina

I took a 14 hour bus from Cusco to Nasca. 
Once there I got lucky, an Asian girl got off the same bus as me and wanted to go see the lines as well. After storing my baggage at the terminal we go out to be harassed by all the taxi drivers. We get driven to the airport... During the ride we get the same bullshit discourse from the taxi driver of: "Have you booked? Can't fly if you haven't.... I can get you a special price...Blablabla..."
Got there and it was fine, there was lots of options.
It cost 70$USD. We took Aero Paracas!

Seeing the lines was one of the coolest things I've done. They were definitely hard to see, even though the airplane is swaying from side to side.... But they were AMAZING! 

Here are some photos I took! :)




It blew my mind how they were discovered in the first place, because they aren't so visible all the time...

Once that was done, they drove us back to the terminal and I took the cheap bus to Ica, where I got on a tuktuk to Huacachina!



I herd about this place through friends. It's fascinating because it's a little oasis... There I stayed at a fun hostel: Desert Nights. I got to be in a room in the back and that was great cause we didn't hear any noise from the kitchen, bar or reception! 
I took the tour and rode out in the desert- and as you know it... 

It's beautiful, but 5 minutes in and damn it, I hate sand... It's everywhere!!
Stayed two nights there and took the 5 hour bus to Lima!!

It's good to be in a city where I don't feel sick... Despite the fact that I'm currently battling some bites! Lol...
