The city

What to expect from Ica.

Ica is the departmental capital, in a green valley amid the desert, at about 400 meters altitude and 300 km from Lima. The valley is the center of Peru's pisco and wine production, with bodegas that welcome visitors. Five km from the center is the oasis of Huacachina, with a lagoon surrounded by dunes, and downtown is the Museo Regional, with pieces from the Paracas and Nazca cultures.
