In the province of Nazca, a little more than a hundred kilometers from Ica city, lies the Nazca Lines, one of the greatest archeological mysteries of the world. UNESCO placed this site on the World Cultural Heritage List in 1994.

 

Formed by a series of 20 cm. deep and gigantic 500 meters long drawings, traced upon the sands, the Nazca Lines feature figures of a spider, a hummingbird, a monkey, etc. that can only be truly appreciated from flying above them.

 

Ica is a land of desert dunes, valleys, Pisco, wine and sun. It is an agricultural zone where fields of cotton, citrus tree orchards and vineyards are interspersed among the impressive textures and colors of the extensive desert areas; a land where mega diverse Reserves and desert dunes adventures live together.
