Punter Gallinas, Colombia
18.02.13
We were up at 4.30AM after not much sleep from the hammock and bundled into the back of a 4x4 to make our way across the desert to ´Punter Gallinas´ the North most point in Colombia. A flat tyre at 6AM meant we could all get out and watch the sunrise. After 5 hours of horrendously bumpy, invisible roads, we passed thousands of cactus, wild goats and a few indigenous Wayuu people. The landscape is breathtaking and we spent the afternoon on 60ft sand dunes which you can run down into the ocean. Another night of star gazing in the ´hammaca´followed by another sunrise, 3 in a row isn't bad.

Huacahina, Ica, Peru
13.12.12
Miles of sandy dunes surround this small natural lake in ´Huacahina,´nick-named the ´Oasis of America´. It´s such a relaxing place, I could have stayed for days.
A group of us hired a sand buggy along with a driver and sped over the dunes, which are around a hundred feet high. It was so much fun but unfortunately way to bumpy and sandy to bring the camera along. We also had a go at the sand boards, the baby slope was enough for me!
