Is Huacachina an oasis?

Huacachina is a beautiful oasis in the Ocucaje Desert in Peru.

Or is it an oasis?  Its a mere 2 miles to the town of Ica as the crow flies. Ica has over 220,000 residents and is on the Pan-American Highway. Following the road, it is just over a 3 mile hike from the center of Ica to Huacachina.

(for a better view, google on Huacachina, Peru, and increase you height so that you can see the oasis and Ica)


"… an oasis ... is an isolated area of vegetation in a desert…"
Wikipedia

Is Huacachina an oasis or not? It doesn't look very isloated to me.
