During winter and into spring, the warm, Gulf-fed freshwater springs of Florida get some very interesting visitors.

Escape to the Dunes // Las Dunas Resort, Ica
I have been amazingly lucky to visit Ica twice this year.
It was an area I had been wanting to visit for a while now and this year was finally the time. I went in April when my brother came to stay and more recently for my birthday at the end of August.
This first post is actually all about the latter stay and the beautiful resort we stayed in to celebrate my 30th.
So, without further ado….
ARO – An Oasis in the Desert
What do you do when you find yourself in the arid foothills of the Limeñan Andes?
You enter into an oasis full of tropical plants and cool water that will make you forget all about the desert (and the grey skies of Lima)!
ARO (Alojamientos y Recreo Romero) is located in Chosica, about a 45 minute drive from Lima (well, the district of Santiago de Surco) along the Carretera Central.
