out of the fish bowl...

There really isn't a hell of a lot to Huacachina. The "town" consists of a lake (or maybe better described as a pond) that takes maybe 10 minutes to walk around and about 2 rows worth of buildings surrounding it. There's not much to do there other than chill out by the pool in your hostel/hotel, or go dune buggying and sand boarding.

Proudest moment: being the only person who could consistently board down the sand dunes (on a 1 inch think piece of "shaped" wood) standing up. Hells ya.
