Restaurante El Caimán
Av. La Laguna s/n (near the Oasis), Huacachina, Ica, Peru, Huacachina, Peru
El Caimán offers stunning views of the Huacachina oasis, which can be incredibly inspiring. The interior is open and bright, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. For remote work, the tables further from the main entrance and closer to the lagoon's edge offer the best combination of views and relative quiet. Their coffee is strong and good quality, and they have an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so you can easily spend a full day here combining work with meals. The crowd is mainly tourists enjoying the views, but during off-peak hours, it's not uncommon to see someone working on their laptop. The noise level can be lively during peak meal times, but it mellows considerably during mid-morning and late afternoon. A tip for remote workers is to leverage the outdoor seating for fresh air, but have an indoor backup in case of bright sun or wind. It's special for its picturesque location and the ability to seamlessly transition from work to relaxation by the lagoon.
