During training we went to Chancay Peru on our Mini-FBT (Miniature Field Based Training.) During our trip in Chancay we got to visit one of the most famous Lomas in all of Peru, the Loma de Lachay. Lomas are incredibly beautiful ecosystems where dew from the ocean is carried by the wind and deposited at the tops of sand dunes. The water then creates incredibly lush forests at the tops of the dunes for a few months out of the year. The rest of the year, the hill is completely dead. As you climb higher on the Loma, you see the correlation between of the amount of available water and lush forest. It was truly a beautiful site!
