Our first day in Huacachina was mostly spent lying by the pool, or in Clem's case the shade, soaking up our first bit of Peruvian sun. We had heard from some friends that you have to climb up one of the sand dunes in the evening to watch one of the sunsets, so at around 5pm we set off up one of the nearby dunes. It was genuinely the hardest thing climbing sand dunes, especially along the ridge as you seem to just sink on either side and basically take 1 step forwards and about 5 back. Eventually a little while later, and looking like we had run a marathon we reached the top and sat down to watch the gorgeous sunset. We then proceeded to race the entire way down which made the whole thing extremely satisfying.
