Itinerary
Between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., we will pick you up at your hotel in Ica and head south.

We will first stop at the main square of Ocucaje, where we will see the famous monuments of the shark, the farmer and the fighting cocks. You will also have free time for breakfast. In addition, those who wish may visit on their own the Paleontological Museum of Ocucaje.

Afterwards, we will drive to the Perdidos Canyon. During the trip, we will make stops while we encounter beautiful natural landscapes such as the Aspírales de Callango or the Delfín. We will also stop at the Pampa de las Piedras, where we will see unique shapes such as the toad, the horse's head, the turtle or the Chihuahua dog, among others. You will also be able to take pictures from the emblematic magic eye.

We will continue our tour visiting the natural sanctuary of Los Perdidos Canyon. After briefly learning how it was formed, you will be able to take pictures on the outside of the mouth of the canyon. We will also take the opportunity to take a walk along the mouth of the canyon, right at the intersection between the Ica and Seco rivers. During this walk, we will see different specimens of native fauna such as owls, gallinules or lizards.

Finally, we will arrive at the waterhole to take pictures and, finally, we will return to Ica. Arrival at the main square of the city is scheduled between 15:00 and 16:00 hours.
