Huacachina - The Oasis of the Americas

Here's an article on the oasis I stumbled across in Peru. I did not take the photo above, but I love the shot. It really gives you a sense the desert surrounding Huacachina. The Atacama/Sechura desert stretches for thousands of miles, from Peru down to the southern tip of Chile. Around Huacachina, the dunes are hundreds of meters high. And then, there's this unimagined little oasis right in the middle of the desert where a natural freshwater spring flows up to create a lake with flowering trees and Bougainvillea.
