Canyon of the Lost

Canyon of the Lost is a natural wonder of Ica, discovered in 2011, and is located in the southeast of the Santiago district, nearly three hours from the city of Ica. Its name comes from an expedition led by Mayor Pablo Alvites and journalist Maycol Herrera, who got lost during the journey, inspiring the name “Lost Canyon.” The canyon is notable for its unique rock formations and desert surroundings. It has become an ideal tourist destination for geology enthusiasts and ecotourism. The place is known for its isolation, silence, and beautiful landscapes. It is an excellent site for adventure and photography.
