Huacachina, the ‘Oasis of America’
‘The desert oasis of Huacachina, outside Ica, is surrounded by palm trees and huge sand dunes. It was once a popular retreat for wealthy residents of Lima, and is a really surprising landscape compared with what we’d seen previously in South America.’ -
Sunset at Paracas beach
‘The beach at Paracas may not have the drama of some of the nearby desert beaches, but it’s a great place to watch daily life slow down and the sun set over the Pacific.’• Follow Michael Edey on Instagram at instagram.com/como_la_noche_y_el_dia, on his blog comolanocheyladia.com and on Tumblr como-la-noche-y-el-dia.tumblr.com
