There aren’t too many desert oases in the world. And among those few, Huacachina Oasis in Peru really stands out.
Huacachina Oasis known as “Oasis of America” is about five hours from Lima, Peru’s capital. The oasis is “the only natural oasis in South America” and is home to the biggest sand dunes on the continent, the official Huacachina website explains.
