ICA TRAVEL GUIDE

If you are suffering from asthma and looking for a cure, then you might seek out the warm and dry climate of Ica Peru, which natives claim is a remedy for the affliction. While Ica travel may or may not truly cure asthma, it is rewarding nonetheless, as the city not only enjoys proximity to other southern Peru attractions, but also boasts the controversial Ica Stones. And, if you like wine, then Ica travel will prove particularly rewarding, as the tradition of wine making here spans back to the days when the city was a main supplier for “New Spain”. Ica Peru is also known for its production of the white-grape Pisco brandy that is the most important ingredient in the country’s national drink, the Pisco Sour. In Ica, you can view pre-Columbian artefacts, visit a nearby desert oasis, or book one of the interesting Ica tours, many of which visit attractions outside the city. Book a Ica vacation getaway on your next trip to Peru, and enjoy a thriving Peruvian desert city with a colonial feel. Be advised that an April 15, 2007 magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit the Peru coast, causing damage from cities in the Ica region and as far as almost 200 miles away in the capital city of Lima. Check ahead of time if you plan to visit Ica, as your trip could very well be negatively affected by the resulting issues. This is especially true when it comes to finding an adequate choice among the Ica hotels.

☼ ICA TOP ATTRACTIONS

Visiting the Ica bodegas where the first vineyards of the New World were planted is a most interesting getaway for wine enthusiasts. Peruvians often refer to the Ica region as, “the land of the sun”, and other agricultural produce from here includes asparagus and olives. Spanish occupation of Ica Peru can be noted in the surviving colonial architecture, among the most impressive of which is the Cathedral Ica Peru.

If you are wondering when to plan your Ica vacation, you might coincide your visit with the March wine festival, or with the October Señor de Luren Pilgrimage, both of which are interesting Peru events.
