About Ica

Ica is a desert city on Peru's south coast, known for its vineyards and pisco, the nearby oasis of Huacachina and the Nazca Lines to the south.

Ica lies in a dry river valley on Peru's southern coast, a green strip of vineyards, cotton fields and orchards between the Pacific and the Andean foothills. The Ica Regional Museum holds mummies, textiles and trophy heads from the Paracas, Nazca and Inca cultures, and the colonial centre has a plaza with a cathedral. The region is one of Peru's centres of pisco, the grape brandy, and many bodegas on the roads around town make it.
