As a weekend escape, 3 friends and I visited the nearby Bosque de Pomac, on of the world's largest dry forests. Despite the desertish conditions in which it lies, the forest is suprisingly green and inhabited by numerous critters: snakes, mountain lions, many species of birds and insects and supposedly Peruvian kangaroos. Besides for bees and a few birds and other insects, we weren't fortunate enough to see other wildlife. A local told us that the forest is in bloom in late November and December. Below are a few pictures of the forest taken from high up on a rocky mountain protruding from the sand where we enjoyed a picnic lunch that we had packed as well as the four of us admiring an algaroba tree said to be more than 1500 years old. Gorgeous and very sturdy.
