Huacachina is a village built around a small oasis and surrounded by sand dunes in southwestern Peru. It is about five kilometers from the city of Ica in the Ica District of Ica Province.[1] The oasis was introduced as a feature on the back of the 50 nuevo sol note in 1991. Huacachina has a permanent population of around 100 people,[2] although it hosts many tens of thousands of tourists each year.
The name comes from Quechua: wakachina, lit. 'guard,[3] conceal',[4] possibly shortened from wakachina qucha lit.'hidden lagoon'.
