Huacachina, Peru: Must Do Day Trips from Lima

Several hours south of Lima, Peru is an adventure that will provide a lifetime of memories. It includes a visit to the oasis town of Huacachina, where you will take a dune buggy up and down the steep and high slopes of sand, as well as, take the opportunity to go sand-boarding on those same dunes. In the village of Paracas, you'll hit the waters of the Pacific Ocean and cruise around the Ballestas Islands, which are sometimes called the Mini-Galapagos, because of the rock formations and wildlife. It's the perfect day trip from Lima! Music provided by Epidemic Sound. Having retired in 2023, I now travel full-time, seeing places all around the world. My idea for YouTube is to make the videos more about the places and people along the way, than about me. I hope that the experience for you is both entertaining and educational. Perhaps you will come away from my channel with ideas about places you would like to visit or be inspired to forge your own way. I travel slowly, spending four or five weeks in each destination. Hopefully, that will allow me to go beyond the surface to find the essence of each location. By the end of 2024, I will have visited 14 countries and five of the seven continents. Come along for the journey!
