Description

Tour Itinerary

  1. Pick-up at Your Hotel in Nazca
    The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Nazca. A bilingual guide (Spanish/English) will greet you and provide a brief summary of the tour before starting.
  2. Visit to the Cantalloc Aqueducts
    The first stop is the Cantalloc Aqueducts, a wonder of hydraulic engineering by the Nazca civilization. These underground aqueducts, dating back more than 1,500 years, are still operational today. You will have the opportunity to walk over the perfectly preserved spiral-shaped aqueducts and learn how this ingenious engineering allowed the Nazca people to survive in the arid desert by accessing underground water.
  3. Mirador "La Aguja y el Hilo" – Nazca Lines
    From a natural viewpoint, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the "La Aguja y el Hilo" figure. This geoglyph is part of the enigmatic group of figures drawn in the Nazca Desert and is one of the most well-known. Here, you can appreciate the figure from the ground, without the need for a flight. The location offers a great opportunity for photographs.
  4. Visit to the Inca Paredones Complex
    The tour will culminate with a visit to the Inca Paredones Complex, an ancient administrative center from the Inca period. Here, the Incas adapted their architecture to the desert conditions, using local materials and unique construction techniques. This complex played a crucial role in controlling and expanding the Inca Empire to the southern coast of Peru.
