Key facts
Daylight in Ica runs from about 11 h 20 min a day in late June to 13 h in late December (computed for -14.08° latitude), which matters more than the forecast when a day is built around one flight or one crossing.
Getting there
No airport with scheduled passenger service sits within 100 km of Ica in the OurAirports register, so flying in means a longer transfer from the nearest served city.
