Northern Peru

After the Ecuatorian border the road goes south between the Ocean and the Andeans, crossing the desert. Sometime people managed to take over the sand and cultivate rice and sugar cane thanks to some little rivers. It is crazy to see miles of sand and then suddendly an oasis with plenty of water (you need a lot to grow rice).



We continued our ruins visit in Chan Chan, pre-Inca civilisation who used the mud to build their temples.



We drove into Lima's trafic without really enjoying it... we are happy to be back into the nature and are planning a nice visit of a small Guano producer island tomorrow.



The sun is bright but it does not feel that warm... which is perfect for our nights!
