Lying in the middle of the barren desert, seeing the night view is really surprising

For a long time, people have thought that in the desert there is only wind and sand, and the scorching hot air just wants to run away as quickly as possible. The sand dunes follow each other, people seem to be trapped, precarious between life and death. So every arid desert in the world has never won the hearts of tourists if it is on the list of places to choose for a vacation.

Yet, in the middle of Peru’s Atacama hot sand “basin” (a South American country located on the Pacific coast), there is a town that always attracts everyone’s attention, it’s a magical oasis town. The name is Huacachina.

The town of Huacachina is located not far from the city of Ica, Peru.

What makes it so magical is because, in the middle of the arid desert, there is a green lake, overgrown trees, abundant life like a miniature paradise.

This oasis has a total of 96 residents. They are considered successful entrepreneurs, creating and developing their own property with the most abundant resource that the land they live in offers: sand.

The town of Huacachina, located not far from the city of Ica, Peru, receives a lot of tourists every year. The beauty of the oasis during the day and at night always surprises visitors. One of the most favorite activities for tourists is watching the sunset by the lake.

It is known that the Huacachina oasis was formed naturally due to the movement of the Earth’s geography. However, locals circulate a legend that once a princess bathed in this area. Unfortunately, she was caught by a passing hunter. Startled, she ran away and left her cloak behind. Later, the place where she bathed was turned into a lake, and her robe turned into sand dunes surrounding the lake as we see it today. Another version claims that the princess is still living in the lake like a mermaid.

Tourists coming here love to watch the sunset by the lake.

The town of Huacachina has been known to many people, especially the rich Peruvians since the 1940s. They came here with the purpose of bathing in the lake because there is a famous rumor that rare drops of water are in the heart. Such an arid desert has medicinal uses, such as paralysis, rheumatism, arthritis…

However, the increasing impact of hands and human life will inevitably have an effect on the Huacachina ecosystem. Due to the fact that people living here dig wells to get groundwater, plus the high temperature in summer causes the water to evaporate, the amount of water in Lake Huacachina has decreased significantly in just the past few years. To overcome this situation, the authorities have taken measures to divert water from Ica, a city in Peru, located about 4km from Huacachina.

Huacachina is considered a national cultural heritage of Peru, recognized by the National Institute of Literature of Peru.

There is no land, there is not much water, living conditions are limited, but the people here who have built their oasis are growing stronger and stronger thanks to the tourism and service business. The main activity that brings income to the people here is tourism. Hotels, restaurants and services are opened quite a lot to serve the needs of tourists. In addition to watching the sunset or sandboarding, many people come here to admire the verdant lake in the middle of the town.
