This Peruvian Oasis Town Is Out Of This World

 

You're in the desert, it's hot and dry and you've an incredible thirst. Suddenly, amid the sandy dunes you spy an oasis. It must be a mirage, you think. Well, nope, not if you're talking about the Peruvian town of Huacachina, situated in the Atacama desert. This town is real enough, although it does resemble an out of this world utopia. The population is around 100, and we envy each and every one of them for living in this amazing place! Check out the pictures below,
