Description

Description

We will pick you up at your accommodation to go to the historic center of Ica, where you will see the historic Plaza de Armas. Here you can appreciate the colonial architecture and visit the remains of the Sanctuary of the Lord of Luren, an important religious site in the region. Afterwards you will go to an authentic artisanal winery. Here you will learn about the fascinating process of making pisco and then you can enjoy a delicious tasting that includes wines, piscos, macerates and cocktails. Later you will have time to have lunch at a countryside restaurant (not included), where you can try the local cuisine. After a break you will head to the picturesque town of Cachiche, which is known for its stories related to witchcraft. Here you can visit the Witches' Park and learn about local legends. Then you will visit the Palm Tree with 7 Heads, which, according to legend, is cursed. Continuing with the tour you will reach the Huacachina Lagoon. Legend has it that this lagoon is born from the tears of a green-eyed woman, who was crying for the death of her loved one. Here you will have the option of sandboarding and taking a buggy ride in the imposing dunes that surround the lagoon. Alternatively, those who prefer to relax can use this time to shop for local crafts or take a walk around the area. Finally, you will return to the Plaza de Armas of Ica.
