During the Wars of Independence from Spain, General José de San Martín, the original liberator of Peru, landed with his army in Paracas (where, inspired by the sight of the numerous flamingoes in the area, he also created the red-and-white flag of the future Republic of Peru) and established his headquarters in the port of Pisco, from where he began his final march upon the city of Lima to oust the Spanish. In present times, Ica is a very hospitable city which serves as an excellent staging point from where to visit some of the most beautiful beaches in the southern Peruvian coast, as well as the Nasca lines and, along with it all, to make the rounds among the numerous vineyards and wineries to taste the excellence of the local wines and Piscos.
