Ica, Southern Peru's adventure capital

Ica is a land of valleys, sun, beaches and a natural reserve inhabited by a variety of flora and fauna.  The Southern Region of Ica is renowned for its dunes, marine life, and nearby Ballesta Islands.  Ica is also site of the Museo Regional de Ica, a regional museum with exhibits ranging from prehistoric artifacts to the Spanish colonial era. On display pre-Columbian funerary bundles and mummies, whose elongated skulls from the Paracas and pre-Inca cultures suggest ritual deformation, perhaps a mark of the elite.


Ica boasts characteristic dunes and a vast desert etched with enigmatic figures, the Nazca Lines, ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

Although Ica has four seasons, the warm dry climate makes it feel like summer year-round.  Ica is more than one reason to enjoy it.  If you wish to visit the main sites and enjoy nature, it is essential to stay at least 3 days. Ica is a unique place in the world with mystery and mysticism. 


Ica can be reached from Lima by the Pan-American Highway. The distance is almost exactly 200 miles or 300 km. The trip takes about 4.5 hours by bus and 4 hours on motorcycle.

Did you know? Peru has the second largest segment of Amazonian rainforest, nearly 60% of the country is covered by rainforest. It is second only to Brazil.
