The buggy dives across sandy slopes in Huacachina, Peru, bringing to mind the movie Dune. Our driver parks and pulls out a snowboard. I lay face first, long legs behind me. Was it the pisco that made me do it?
Pisco, Peru’s signature spirit, is distilled from grapes, and packs a punch with up to 48% alcohol. No trip to Peru is complete without a tasting. Between cocktails, I explore Paracas, glimpsing wondrous wildlife, surf massive dunes, and hike to Machu Picchu.
