How safe is Huacachina for female travelers?
Group travel
People were very hostile and unfriendly towards travelers. I would recommend traveling in a group, as it is very dangerous, and besides, you should stick to the group. Book a hotel that is closer to the city center, as it is more lively there and people are friendlier. Make sure you have mosquito creams with you, as there are too many of them.

I loved Huacachina. A beautiful desert oasis in the middle of the mountains, where we did amazing buggy tours on the beach and sand surfed, and the sunsets were absolutely unbelievable.
