Canyon of the Lost

The Canyon of the Lost is one of the most impressive destinations in the Ica region. Although still considered little-known by many travelers, it has become a must-see for those seeking adventure, unique landscapes, and direct contact with nature. Located a few hours from the city of Ica, this canyon was formed millions of years ago by the passage of prehistoric rivers that left surprising traces in the desert, creating a setting worthy of exploration. The journey to the Canyon of the Lost begins through arid landscapes typical of the Peruvian coastal desert. Along the way, it is common to find marine fossils and vestiges that remind us that this area was covered by the sea thousands of years ago. Upon arrival, visitors are amazed by the magnitude of the canyon, which reaches more than 1,500 meters in length and depths exceeding 100 meters. Its geological formations, eroded walls, and ravines create an ideal landscape for photography and contemplation. In addition to its visual impact, this destination offers a strong cultural and natural component. Local guides often share the stories and legends surrounding the canyon, further enriching the experience. The silence of the place, combined with the immensity of the landscape, conveys a unique sense of connection with nature, difficult to find elsewhere in the desert. This tour is perfect for those who want to combine it with other experiences in Ica, such as the Private Tour to the Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, and Sunset in the Desert, the adrenaline rush of Sandboarding and Sandsky Pro in Huacachina, or the Trip and Tour to Paracas, Huacachina, and Wineries. This way, you can take advantage of your visit to the region to experience both the adventure and the winemaking traditions and the marine beauty.
