Overview
We are going to pick you up, at the hotel or bus station, to start this amazing adventure to the Canyon of the Lost. In a 2-hour journey, our transport will take us through the South Panamerican highway, until we reach the district of Ocucaje. Before entering the desert, we will make a short stop so you can buy fresh food, fruits and drinks (optional).
On the way to the canyon, we are going to stop at āPampa de Piedrasā to spend a funny time taking pictures. Continuing with the tour, we will reach the Canyon of the Lostās viewpoint.
This wonder of the nature was discovered in 2011, and it has a total extension of 2 kilometers and a depth of 150 meters. The canyon is formed by the erosion of the Seco River, which flows into the Ica River, towards the Pacific Ocean. Among the fauna that we can find, we will admire birds such as buzzards and crows.
The walking tour starts along a sandy path, with the incredible opportunity to see marine fossils such as whales and sharks. This fantastic place has been a seabed, with about 20 to 30 million years old. Explore the different levels of this rock formation, with figures carved naturally on the walls, and lagoons along the way.
After enjoying this unique experience for 2 hours, we will leave the canyon and start our way back to the city of Ica. Upon arrival, we will drop you off at the hotel or bus station.
