Frequently asked questions

What is the climate like in Ica?

Ica has two main climates. From December to March, it is summer with very high temperatures. We recommend wearing light clothing, swimwear, or sportswear. From April to November, the climate is humid and cooler with occasional drizzle. We recommend wearing warm clothes, jackets, and raincoats, especially when visiting the Ballestas Islands.

How can we get to Ica from Lima?

• Private travel agency: The fastest and most comfortable way. Pickup can be from your hotel or a coordinated point.
• Shared colectivos: Small vans with about six seats, averaging 3.5 hours travel time. Departure happens once full.
• Bus companies: Popular option. Soyuz and Cruz del Sur run frequent departures, every 30 minutes.

How can we see the Nazca Lines?

You can see the Nazca Lines by airplane or from miradors (viewpoints). The best view is from the air. Daily flights range from 30 minutes to over an hour. Some flights depart from Ica’s airport or aerodrome.

What is the tour cancellation policy?

If travelers cancel 30 days or less before the trip, they must pay 100% of the tour cost. For cancellations made 31 days or more, fees may vary depending on the departure and itinerary.
