Things to do in Lima in February

Huacachina

Escape the noise and traffic of Lima and enter a desert world with an oasis at its centre in Huacachina. Located among huge sand dunes, some hundreds of feet high, the oasis is home to a small village and is four hours from Lima in Ica province, so an overnight expedition is recommended. Take an organised tour and enjoy buggy rides on the dunes, sand-boarding and boat trips out to the islands.
