About Ica

Ica, Peru is a sunny desert city near Huacachina, great for nomads who like a relaxed pace and adventure 🌵🏜️. It has affordable living, basic services, and easy access to Lima by road or short flights ✈️. Internet can be decent in central areas, but it’s not a major tech hub. Best for a few weeks, not long-term remote-work convenience.
