The city of Ica is the capital of the Ica Region and the most important wine producer of Peru. The first inhabitants of Ica belonged to the Paracas and Nazca Cultures (600 BC \u2013 200AD), famous for, among others, their pottery and textiles. The city of Ica was founded in 1563, on June 17th. Ica is not only famous for its wine, but also for its enormous sand dunes – shaped by the winds of Paracas in this part of the Peruvian coast \u2013 and last but not least, for the lagoon of Huacachina. The attractive Huacachina is a natural oasis about 4 kilometres outside Ica, in the middle of the sand dunes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”] \n

Ica’s unique location in the desert provides amazing opportunities for sandboarding and sand buggy tours. The city attracts both international travellers and national tourists, looking for a relaxing trip to the calm resort or a refreshing trip to the Ballestas Islands and the Paracas National Reserve. A popular trip to be connected with the visit of Ica, is a tour to the city of Pisco, famous for the production of Peru\u00b4s national liquor with the same name. Furthermore, the small city of Nazca, not far to the South o Ica, offers the experience of the infamous Nazca Lines.<\/p>\n

Lastly, don\u00b4t forget to take a trip to the interesting bodegas in the city of Ica, such as the Bodega Tacama, Bodega Ocucaje and the Bodega El Catador. Most tours at the bodegas are free; you just need to hire a taxi to get there. The building of the Catador is from 1856, owned by one of the richest families in Ica. The Catador is also recommended for nice meals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1722261853458{margin-top: -60px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column]\n
