We took a taxi from Huacachina to Ica where we caught the Soyuz bus to Nazca. The bus leaves every 20 minutes. The 2.5h ride felt quite long and cramped with about 60 long-distance seats crammed into the bus. It would have been more comfy with thin commuter/suburban seats as there would be space between them.
It was a short walk to the Boulevard hostal where had booked ourselves. We found a cafe for a simple lunch of an avocado sandwich and fried noodles. We rested on the hostal’s pleasant deck and enjoyed the best internet so far in Peru to get a few things done.
We had a simple dinner nearby and called it a day. It was the “do very little” kind day we needed once in a while.
