Cañoncillo
Nestled away about an hour north of Pacasmayo is Cañoncillo or little canyon, a conservation area packed with not only a somewhat secluded lake but miles of forests and sand dunes. The hectic trip of to get to canoncillo was definitely worth it after our day of relaxat
The second lake was more of a person friendly lake, which included one of those amazing climbing trees whose branches hung out over the lake and a very quaint beach. Taking advantage of the sunlight of the morning we settled down on the beach to take in some rays and to have a little picnic, wonderfully prepared by Jan. I never thought I would actually say this, but I really like Tuna Salad, something that the mere smell of would make me nauseous. Our peaceful beach was taken over by two groups of university students on a field trip out to canoncillo. One was even camping near by. Both were completely fascinated with us and asked to take pictures with me. I felt like a celebrity at a press conference. They were asking me every question they knew in English and then asked to take their picture with me. So there are probably pictures of me floating around peruvian facebook now saying I met a grina or something to that effect.
After the press conference Gabby and I took off to see the sand dunes and to see if we could watch the students sand boarding, which Cherry and I are determined to do before we leave. No such luck finding anyone sand boarding but standing in the middle of a field of sand dunes is absolutely breathtaking. Think Aladdin walking out to the Cave of wonders.
