Your ultimate guide to an unforgettable desert adventure

Planning a trip to Peru and looking for something beyond Machu Picchu? Just a few hours south of Lima, Ica is one of the country’s best-kept secrets — a destination packed with desert adventures, wine culture, and unforgettable landscapes.

If you’re visiting during a holiday like Spring Break or looking for a unique South America experience, this guide covers the best things to do in Ica, Peru to make your trip unforgettable.

1.Explore Huacachina Oasis

Right in the middle of the desert, Huacachina looks like something out of a movie. This natural oasis surrounded by massive sand dunes is the top attraction in Ica. Walk around the lagoon, rent a paddle boat, or just enjoy the sunset views — it’s pure magic.

2.Ride Dune UTV & Try Sandboarding

If you’re into adrenaline, this is a MUST.

Hop on a dune UTV and ride across the desert at high speed, then try sandboarding down giant dunes. It’s like snowboarding — but hotter and wilder.

Pro tip: Go at sunset for the best views.

3.Visit a Pisco Vineyard

Ica is the heart of Peru’s wine and pisco production.

Visit traditional vineyards like Tacama Vineyard or El Catador to learn how pisco is made — and of course, taste it.

Expect great wine, history, and a fun cultural experience.

4. Take a day trip to Paracas & Ballestas Islands

Just 1 hour from Ica, Paracas offers a completely different landscape.

Take a boat tour to the Ballestas Islands (often called the “Poor Man’s Galápagos”) and see sea lions, penguins, and birds up close.
