Description
The adventure kicks off early with a pick-up from your accommodation in Ica, heading to Ocucaje, an almost untouched territory where the landscape slowly transforms between dunes, hills, and rock formations that reflect the essence of the desert. During the trip, you'll feel the immensity and deep silence of the coastal desert, creating a unique atmosphere from the first moment.
When you reach the viewpoint of the Cañón de los Perdidos, you'll be blown away by the panoramic view of this impressive natural formation, which reveals its magnitude and mystery. From there, the descent and guided trek inside the canyon begin, a walk of approximately two hours between eroded walls, ancient channels, and traces of a marine past that are still preserved in the surroundings.
The experience is enriched by the company of a specialist biologist, who will help you discover fossils, minerals, and the surprising adaptation of life in this extreme environment. Along the way, you'll take breaks to observe, photograph, and connect with landscapes that seem to be from another planet.
Before heading back to Ica, the day wraps up with a special visit to an artisanal winery, where you'll learn about local traditions and enjoy a tasting of organic products. The afternoon return wraps up an unforgettable day that combines adventure, learning, and nature in its purest form.
