We visited Chauchilla Cemetary, also in the desert – quite gruesome - the area was destroyed by grave robbers looking for treasures many years ago and there are small fragments of bone and pottery all over the place.
Onto something more cheerful … more desert. There’s just so much of it. But we were headed for the
coastal spot of Puerto Inka, so things were looking up.
Where the desert meets the sea …. no green coastal vegetation to be seen. Just more barren land, but what a stunning place – a small coastal resort in the middle of nowhere.
We had a free afternoon to explore nearby Inka ruins and have a walk on the beach. The water was ICY!!!! Some sections of the ruins are roped off, but we found it hard to belive that it wasn’t more protected. Only explanation we heard was that there are so many Inka sites across Peru.
Sail and Zac had organised wine tasting for the evening, so we enjoyed wine and nibbles as the
sun set and the temperature dropped. Still one more highlight for the day … a game of soccer against the local boys. Since we could only must a team of 2, they had to help us out. Fast and furious game went on until they could no longer see the ball.
