Huacachina is commonly referred to as the "Oasis of America," known as one of southwestern Peru's most popular resort regions. The desert oasis and village, which is located just west of the city of Ica, is home to the beautiful Huacachina Lagoon, which is encircled by palm trees and believed by many to have therapeutic, rejuvenating properties. Tens of thousands of tourists visit the region throughout the year for excellent recreational opportunities, including chances for sand dune sandboarding and arenero dune buggy riding. Lively clubs, restaurants, and bars line the lagoon's shores, making for vibrant nightlife experiences. Nearby, Ica is home to many wine and Pisco vineyards, which showcase tastings and tours throughout the week. Map
