Palpa Archaeological Tour

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 more than 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 admire the Perfil del Inca, a rock at the foot of the Andes.

We'll continue towards Palpa, stopping at the Solar Clock, a set of lines and geoglyphs of mysterious meaning. Upon reaching Palpa, we'll visit its main square and the Museum of Palpa, which exhibits a variety of archaeological pieces from the pre-Inca settlements.

After Palpa, we'll drive east to discover the petroglyphs of Chichictara and the geoglyphs of the Paracas Royal Family, which are thousands of years old and comparable to the Nazca lines.

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

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