Why and by whom? This ancient geoglyph is estimated to be approximately 800 feet tall and can be seen from as far as 12 miles out at sea. It was created by cutting two feet deep into the hardened soil and has been dated to around 200 BC. The meaning and purpose of the Candelabra are still unknown which just makes it all the more fascinating to see.

This lake can be found in the centre of Huacachina and is a definite must see if visiting Ica or Huacachina itself. The lake is beautiful and one can rent a boat or swim in its waters. The lake itself is lined with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes and is a very peaceful area in which to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink. The lake is right next to the desert's sand dunes in which there is lots to do nearby such as dune buggying and sandboarding.
