Whilst you are in Peri, you must definitely explore the surroundings of Ica. Who would have believed that the country is home to an oasis and a desert, penguins, Pisco and everything, all in such a small place? A journey to the heart of the region can offer you incredible diversity and an unforgettable experience with nature.

Surf, try new things, explore and more in Ica

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.

Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.

Chilca is a seaside resort two hours from <a href="/peru/">Lima</a> by road. A spot taken over by surfers, Chilca is a relatively calm place which benefits from a mild climate all year round.
I ended up in Chilca a bit by chance. Gustavo, a Peruvian friend and talented surfer, was participating in a competition organised by the town. He suggested that I accompanied him. I accepted his invitation and there we were, squeezed into a little car, going in the direction of this little coastal town. Peruvian songs gave rhythm to our journey... 
When we arrived, it was night time. We would have to wait until the following day to discover this little fishing town. Like the majority of Peruvian towns, it's the parade ground where you'll find the main monuments in Chilca including a rather nice market.
I hang onto a beautiful memory of my seaside weekend in Chilca between bathing, surf classes and delicious fish dishes. Don't hesitate to try the ceviche (marinated raw fish) and the parihuela (fish soup).
