At the time of your choice, we will pick you up at your hotel and begin a tour that will take us to discover the main tourist attractions of this city and its surroundings. Are you ready?
During the tour, we will combine walking trips with trips aboard the minibus to get the most complete view possible of the city of the sun and pisco.
The first stop will be at the 7-headed palm tree, whose history will leave you fascinated. Nearby, we will visit the mystical town of Cachiche, which was once inhabited by witches. We will tell you about these ancient covens and the many legends that have been told about them for centuries.
Afterwards, we will explore the historic center of Ica, where we will find the Plaza de Armas. This place is famous for having been the scene of the first cry of libertarianism proclaiming the independence of Peru. Around it, we will be able to admire old mansions in the viceregal style and some of the main architectural monuments of the city.
Before leaving the center of Ica, we will visit the Señor de Luren sanctuary, considered one of the most emblematic monuments of Ica's religion. Next, we will visit the Nietto winery to learn all the details of the process of making Ica wines and the famous pisco. In addition, you will have the opportunity to taste the different types of drinks made in this winery.
In the final stretch of the tour we will visit the Huacachina lagoon, a peaceful natural oasis surrounded by steep dunes. We will be seduced by the tropical palm trees and by the contrast of the emerald green waters of the lagoon with the aridity of the dunes. Photo moment!
