Our first stop will be the district of Ocucaje, a place full of local charm. Here we will visit its main square while the guide provides a brief historical overview of the area.

Afterward, we will walk along the canyon’s entrance and descend into its interior, reaching the intersection of the Ica River and the Dry River.
