Day 12: Desert hearts

Hi peeps,

Day 12 was another travel day! Went from Lima to Paracas with two stops, one for breakfast and one for Chincha. When in Lima I kept forgetting that it actually is in the desert. When we were driving through there were a lot of ‘bad’ neighborhoods with unfinished houses and trash.

The breakfast place was really cute, it had a mini zoo with horses and a lot of guinea pigs, probably for food.

Chincha was a stop where I got to see some history of Peru. Apparently it used to be a place where the slaves lived, in very poor conditions unfortunately. It used to have three buildings and a church but in the 2001 earthquake most of it collapsed. Only the main building and the church are still standing. The main building is now a beautiful hotel though.


So now in Paracas, it is a beautiful coastal town in the middle of the desert. Which means it’s hot during the day and cold during the night. But atleast my hostel has a cat! When walking around, Sabrine and I got an entourage! Such cute doggies.
