부동산 — Hostal Nazca
Hostal Nazca is a straightforward three-star place in central Ica, built around a courtyard with a small pool and sun terrace. It’s popular with backpackers and budget-minded travellers who need clean, air-conditioned rooms and reliable breakfast before heading out to the Huacachina oasis or the Nazca Lines. The lobby feels functional rather than stylish — tiled floors, a reception desk with tour leaflets, and a faint hum from the street outside. It suits anyone who wants a decent night’s sleep without paying for frills.
Ica 연대기
Ica was founded in 1563 by Spanish conquistador Jerónimo Luis de Cabrera on land once inhabited by the Paracas and Nazca cultures. Its colonial core grew around the Plaza de Armas, but earthquakes in 1666, 1913 and 2007 repeatedly reshaped the city’s adobe and brick architecture. Today Ica is Peru’s main wine and pisco producing region, with bodegas offering tastings just outside town. The city has a dusty, working feel — more provincial hub than tourist magnet, though Huacachina’s dunes pull thousands of visitors each year. Contemporary Ica balances its agricultural wealth with a growing tourism sector focused on desert adventure.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Ica 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May to October: dry, sunny days with highs around 25°C and cool nights; virtually no rain. July sits right in this sweet spot, with manageable crowds at Huacachina and lower prices than the August peak.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
August is the busiest month, driven by tourists combining Huacachina dune buggy trips with Nazca Lines flights. Hotel prices in Ica can climb 20-30% from the shoulder rates, especially around the Semana del Pisco festival in late July.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and November offer the best budget deals. April has clear skies and few visitors; November sees light cloud but still very dry, plus discounts of 15-25% on accommodation.
날씨 & 포장
Ica sits in a hyper-arid coastal desert where it almost never rains but temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Pack layers: shorts and T-shirts for daytime, a fleece or light jacket for evenings, and always include sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Ica
- Major roadworks on Avenida Grau, the main access route to Huacachina lagoon, began in March 2026 and are expected to cause delays through July. Allow an extra 20-30 minutes for transfers.
- The Museo Regional de Ica reopened its archaeology wing in May 2026 after a two-year renovation, now displaying new Paracas textile finds and a dedicated Nazca pottery collection.
- Peru’s domestic airline Sky Airline launched a daily Lima–Ica flight in June 2026, cutting ground travel time from four hours by bus to 50 minutes; flights arrive at the small Ica Airport near the city centre.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Nazca, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Jr. Lima). These are quieter and have less street noise, plus better air circulation in Ica’s heat.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing Jr. Lima — they get direct street noise from early morning traffic and pedestrians on this central Ica road. Also skip rooms near the stairwell or lift shaft if you’re a light sleeper.
Best views
No direct view from the address — it’s on a built-up street. Side rooms facing the courtyard give a pleasant internal view with some greenery, but avoid expecting vistas.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, being higher above street level and away from ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Jr. Lima is a main road in Ica’s historic centre, so traffic, mototaxis, and street vendors start early (around 6am). Weekends can have louder music from nearby bars.
Insider tips
1. Request a courtyard-facing room when booking — the management often assigns quieter rooms on request. 2. Earplugs are worth packing, even on upper floors, as the hotel’s thin walls may carry noise from neighbouring rooms.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Ica 주요 관광지
💡 Grab a ceviche from one of the stalls on the side streets for about 10 soles. Avoid the overpriced churros from touts near the cathedral. Best visited late afternoon when the heat drops and people start gathering.
💡 Bring swimwear if you want to paddle; the water is murky but locals swim. Avoid the boat rental—overpriced and the pond is tiny. Best at dawn when the tour groups haven't arrived yet.
💡 Skip the overpriced cafes near the car park. Walk around to the far side for quieter spots and better photo angles. Go early in the morning or just before sunset for cooler sand and fewer people.
💡 Entrance costs about 8 soles (roughly £1.60). Bring a phrasebook or a translation app as there are no English labels. Allow 45 minutes to an hour; it's not huge. Closed on Mondays.
💡 The basic tour costs 15 soles and includes three samples. Go for the 'Premium' tour (25 soles) if you want to taste their older piscos—it's worth it, but book ahead. They sell good-value bottles at the shop, much cheaper than in restaurants.
