Paracas, Peru

On Day 8, our group took the bus on a 4 hour trip to Paracas on the coast by the Nazca Desert. The bus was the nicest bus I've ever been on ... huge leather seats, only 3 seats
across instead of the usual 4, and a very smooth and pleasant ride.
Upon arrival, after a nice lunch and a massive crème brûlée, some in our group relaxed at their hotel, or the pool, or explored Paracas, or did her own personal tour.
However, three of us went into the Nazca Desert for a dune buggy ride all around the sand dunes. We also briefly did a bit of sand surfing. My second favourite activity on the trip,
after Machu Picchu.
