Travelogues Ica

I woke up twice that night because of the heat, but then went back to sleep. At half past seven I really woke up and went straight up to the roof terrace for breakfast for €3....

Let's review the past weeks in Peru together: We started in Lima, the capital, then went to the jungle and the Amazon, followed by mountains and lakes, so what's missing?...

On to the oasis - in the end, everything will be fine...

Ica is located slightly south of Lima on the coast and is a desert city. I chose it because it is slightly less touristy than the cities of Pisco and Nasca (with the Nasca Lines)....

After getting to know the capital of Peru, we head south and drive to Ica, a small city surrounded by huge sand dunes. But apparently there is more than just sand here, as Ica...

Nach unserer Nachtfahrt von Cusco nach Nasca, informierten wir uns über die Preise für Ausflüge zu den Nasca Linien. Bei einem Preisunterschied von 90€ Flug zu 30€ (inkl....

Huanchacco Back in Trujillo, we head back to Huanchacco, a place we are familiar with. We are warmly greeted by Tato, Juan, and Gaffi, the household dog, upon our arrival. We...

We say goodbye to the beautiful town of Huaraz, located in the mountains, and take an overnight bus to Lima. We sit in the bus for about 8 hours - quite comfortable! Once we...

After being honked at by around 30 taxis while waiting for the bus in the morning, I arrived safely in Paracas! After sitting on the bus for 3 hours, I moved into my 12-bed room...

About the mysterious Nazca Lines and into the white city...

Once in the desert for fun and then relax...

5.11. Unser letzter Tag in Huaraz vergeht rasch und gemütlich: wir bezahlen nochmals eine halbe Zimmermiete, damit wir bis abends um 9 Uhr in unserem Raum bleiben können. In...

On various relevant websites, the desert oasis of Huacachina is touted as one of the top 10 attractions in Peru, and the pictures looked so amazing that we knew: I have to go...

11.01. 8th day I'm there at half past 3 in the afternoon. The hostel is a bit different this time, a bit further from the beach, but very calm and relaxed. Also, I...

The oasis in the middle of the desert

07.01. 4th Day Instead of arriving at 16:15, I arrive in Paracas a little after 7 p.m. I've heard that Paracas is not worth a visit, that you should just see the islands and...

The bus tour lasted almost 2 hours. We went to the national park and looked at 3 spots. First the cathedral, then another viewing mountain and then another red beach where the...

We were a small group and had a really cool guide who always said that no one should die because it would cause too much paperwork. We drove almost 40 minutes to the national...

So. I didn't write anymore yesterday because I fell asleep early. I generally sleep more on vacation than at home. Woke up at 5, checked out at 6 and then the transfer was at...

January 28, 2024 Pisco/Paracas/Nazca We arrived in Pisco in the morning. This time entry was a little more complicated because everyone had to present their passport and sea...

When we arrived in Ica, we quickly realized that it was quite an ugly city. Aside from constantly being approached about "tours", the drivers made it as difficult as possible to...

Day 16 of quarantine and still no end in sight. By now, we have settled in quite well in our hostel and have managed to adapt to the rather monotonous daily routine....

The short detour to Paracas was worth it: on the Islas Ballestas, we observed many birds and some larger creatures - and in the national reserve, we visited barren coastal...

Here things are really happening rapidly. After a short, hot and mosquito-infested night, we continued to Nazca at 8am. Nasca is famous for the so-called Nazca lines. These are...

After one last day in Cusco, where we climbed a few viewpoints on the outskirts of the city and visited an incredibly expensive Inca site, it was time for a change of scenery. We...

From Iquitos, we flew back to Lima without any problems and then took a bus to Paracas, which is about 4 hours away on the coast south of Lima. Paracas is a small tourist harbor...

Now it's already our last days in Peru. Before we have to go back to Lima to the airport, we will stay 2 more days in Ica. From Cusco, you can reach the city by bus in 17 hours....

A shaky but very impressive flight over the mysterious Nazca Lines

I woke up at 6:30 but still felt a little bit of the alcohol. Then I lay in bed for a bit and then went to the roof terrace at 7 to have breakfast. My first accommodation with...

So today last day in Ica. Have I already mentioned at some point that I think Ica is stupid. Well, I slept well, I had to be out at 10:00 a.m. But I was able to leave my...
