Located in a fertile valley 300 km (186 miles) south of Lima, Ica is famous for its abundant production of agricultural goods for export as well as its local winemaking, and also for the internationally-known pisco, a brandy made from grapes.
Only 5 km (3 miles) from Ica, as a mirage in the middle of the desert, lies the beautiful and mysterious Huacachina lake, surrounded by palm trees, huarango trees and majestic dunes that are a true paradise for sandboarders.

You can also visit the area’s main wineries located outside of the city, on a special trip where you will learn about the winemaking and pisco-making processes, and taste the wide variety of wines and pisco produced here.

For those of you who are looking for spells and charms, only 10 minutes from Ica the town of Cachiche awaits you with the beneficial secrets of its legendary witches.
