DM Hotel Mossone is right next to Laguna Huacachina, the legendary lake where an Inca princess transformed in a mermaid. It’s one of the few oases in the Americas and is surrounded by picturesque sand dunes.

You can depart from the hotel to take tours of the nearby Nazca Lines, which were carved into the hard dessert soil between 500 BC and 500 CE. By car, It only takes around 15 minutes to get to downtown Ica to and a nice variety of restaurants. Travel just outside of the city to visit some of the area’s vineyards and try some freshly bottled pisco, Peru’s liquor of choice. Explore the sand dunes around the hotel in a dune buggy, and glide down the sand on an exhilarating sandboarding tour.

There are 39 rooms that surround a central courtyard with a pool. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. All of the rooms are air conditioned and come with safety deposit boxes.
