The map

About this Ica map poster

Ica lies in the coastal desert of southern Peru, in a green valley watered by the Ica River as it runs down from the Andes. On a map the city forms a fairly regular grid of blocks centred on its main plaza, with the river channel passing along its eastern side and irrigated fields pressing close against the outer neighbourhoods.

The valley is the heart of Peru's pisco and wine production, and vineyards and bodegas surround the city. Just south-west of the centre, sand dunes rise sharply around Huacachina, a small lagoon ringed by palms that has become one of the country's best-known desert landscapes. Further south lie the Nazca Lines, often visited on trips that start from here.

An Ica map poster shows a city defined by the boundary between water and dryness. The grid holds together tightly around the plaza, roads push out into agricultural plots, and at the edges the street network simply stops where the desert begins. Framed wide enough, the lagoon appears as a small, precise shape set among empty ground.

01

Plaza de Armas grid

The historic centre is organised around a main square, with straight streets forming regular blocks. It gives the poster a strong, symmetrical core typical of colonial cities in Peru.

02

Ica River

The river runs through the valley along the eastern side of the city. Though often low or dry for much of the year, its course is clearly marked by the fields that follow it.

03

Huacachina

The small lagoon lies among high dunes a short distance from the city. On the map it is a compact ring of streets around water, surrounded by the smooth emptiness of the sand.

Why Ica

A map that means something

Ica appeals to people with family roots in the valley, to wine and pisco lovers, and to travellers who remember dawn on the dunes above Huacachina. The map condenses the contrast between the green valley and the desert into a single, restrained image that suits a quiet wall.

Customise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a family name, a bodega or the date of a trip. Pick Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, then download the $9 HD files or have a matte poster printed and shipped from partners in over 30 countries.

The HD purchase includes 30×40 cm, 50×70 cm, A3, A2, 18×24″ and 24×36″, each as a 300 DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF.

Is there a free version of the Ica map poster?

You can download a free 900 px preview with a watermark. The paid HD files have no watermark and are sharp enough for large prints.

How do I print my Ica map?

Send the PDF to any local print shop or online printing service and ask for the matching paper size. Matte paper and a thin black or oak frame suit this style best.
