Palpa Archaeological Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Ica at 7 am to start this archaeological route through the Palpa Valley, a place with over 5000 years of history.

Our first stop will be at the Huarango Milenario, a tree over 1000 years old. Next, we'll go to the district of Rio Grande to see the Perfil del Inca, a rock at the foot of the Andes.

Continuing the tour, we will approach the town of Palpa, stopping to view the Solar Clock, a set of lines and geoglyphs with mysterious significance. We will then visit Palpa's main square and the Museum of Palpa, which displays various archaeological pieces from the pre-Inca settlements of the valley.

After visiting Palpa, we'll drive east to explore the petroglyphs of Chichictara and the geoglyphs of the Paracas Royal Family, ancient geometric drawings comparable to the Nazca lines.

The last stop will be at the La Máquina spring, created by a geological fault. Here, we will allow you free time for a swim and lunch on your own in a nearby restaurant.

Finally, we'll return to Ica, arriving between 5 pm and 6 pm.
