My second day in Peru consisted of a 4 hour bus ride leaving at 6a from Lima to Ica and a 10 minute cab ride to Huacachina. A couple hours of sandboarding and sandduning in a buggy in a sandy oasis left me hungry and thirsty. Huacachina is pretty small and the food options are quite limited.
A hot sun with views of an oasis in the middle of a dessert provided the perfect setting for Cusquena, a popular Peruvian beer.
A common item on the drink menus in Peru are blended fresh fruit drinks. The mango one was thick and sweet, although not exactly thirst quenching.
Peru has a huge Chinese influence in their food. The most popular is lomo saltado. A stir fry of beef, tomatoes, onions, and french fries served with a side of white rice. This dish tastes exactly what it sounds like: a stir fry with french fries.
Peru is home to a large variety of potatoes. Fried potatoes is a popular item. This one is served with cheese and chives.
