Cachiche Park + 7-Headed Palm Tree
Legends and mysteries of the valley
Experience Summary
Cachiche is one of the most mysterious and charming villages in Peru. Known as "the village of the witches," its history is woven between colonial reality and popular myth: it is said that its inhabitants possessed healing and shamanic powers that both fascinated and terrified the Spanish conquerors.
The ultimate symbol of Cachiche is the 7-Headed Palm Tree, an ancient tree with 7 main branches growing in the heart of the oasis. According to legend, anyone who counts exactly its 7 heads will be blessed with luck and prosperity. The theme park surrounding it is filled with sculptures and representations of Ica's folklore.
