Lines In The Desert
Monday, March 27th, 2006Maybe it is only me, but the deserts of southern Peru have striking resemblance to those of southern Israel. Once you leave Lima on the panamerican highway, you immediately enter an area of small brown-grey hills that look just like the area between Beer Sheva and the Negev Junction. Later on, when you get closer to Nasca, the view changes considerably, and after passing an area of large sand dunes it becomes very close to Israel’s great desert rivers - the Paran and Zin desert areas. Stuck between the Andean mountains in the east and the pacific coast in the west, the Peruvian desert feels like an excellent place to visit, and indeed it didn’t fail.
