Message from Kristin and David Neusel

Ica, a city in southern Peru, is known for its dry climate and historical significance. Founded in 1563 by Spanish conquistadors, Ica boasts prehistoric artifacts and colonial-era treasures in its regional museum. Tourists flock to the area for the famous Pisco brandy, sandboarding on dunes, and exploring the Huacachina oasis. With a thriving agricultural scene producing crops like grapes and asparagus, Ica is dubbed the "Land of Eternal Sun." However, water scarcity issues loom due to excessive aquifer use.
