07:00 A.M. We begin the day with pick-up from hotels located in downtown Ica (Plaza de Armas, Huacachina and/or Residencial La Angostura) or from the bus terminal. Our first stop will be the district of Ocucaje, a place full of local charm. Here we will visit its main square while the guide provides a brief historical overview of the area. Travelers will have time to take photos next to the district’s emblematic sculptures: the prehistoric shark, the traditional farmer, and the fighting roosters — true cultural icons of the region.

Before continuing, we will make a strategic stop at a local restaurant, where passengers may have breakfast (optional) and purchase snacks or beverages for the journey. It is the perfect break to recharge before entering the desert. We then continue toward the impressive Canyon de los Perdidos, a hidden natural gem in the Ica desert. Upon arrival, we will stop at the main viewpoint to admire this spectacular geological formation while the guide shares fascinating information about the site.

Afterward, we will walk along the canyon’s entrance and descend into its interior, reaching the intersection of the Ica River and the Dry River. Along the way, we will discover a surprising ecosystem, home to birds such as owls and vultures, as well as small desert species like lizards. A perfect setting to capture stunning photographs. Before returning to the city, we will make a final stop for lunch (optional) at a local restaurant.

To close the experience on a high note, we will visit an artisanal winery where passengers will enjoy a tasting of wines, piscos, and delicious pisco creams produced in the region — a complete experience of flavor and tradition.

Finally, we return comfortably to the city of Ica. Transfer to the Cruz del Sur bus terminal. 06:00 P.M. Boarding CRUZ DEL SUR from Ica to Lima. 10:20 P.M. Arrival in Lima.
