Boca del Rio

Journaled on January 29th

Where am I? I mean, really. It seems that a hurricane must surely be coming! This town is deserted. A beachside getaway, Boca del Rio boasts itself as the best coastal retreat in southern Peru. It hosts swarms of local Peruvians on the weekends, bringing a liveliness to it. Though, it becomes a ghost town during the weekdays. Today is Tuesday. Hence, it feels like a ghost town. The climate and topography only add to this. Boca is in the fringe driest desert of the world - the Atacama. Massive sand dunes provide its eastern backdrop. I'm very pleased to be here. The beaches are beautiful, and the aura is tranquil.
