What you can expect

We will pick you up directly from your hotel in Nazca and take you on a 4-kilometer journey west of the city. Our first stop will be at the impressive Cantalloc Aqueducts, a marvel of hydraulic engineering built over 1,500 years ago by the ancient Nazca culture. Upon arrival, we will disembark and begin a fascinating guided expedition where you will uncover the secrets and history behind this incredible construction.

Our expert guide will reveal the intricate details of how these underground channels, built with stone slabs and huarango tree trunks, continue to irrigate the fields of the valley to this day. Out of the 46 aqueducts found, 32 are still operational, maintaining a connection between ancient and modern agricultural practices. Along the way, you will observe the distinctive “puquios”, spiral wells used for ventilation and system maintenance—a truly remarkable sight in the heart of the desert.

Next, we will hike up a picturesque hill where a stunning geoglyph, a testament to ancient Nazca art, will unfold before your eyes. After this awe-inspiring moment, we will descend to a nearby viewpoint to appreciate one of the iconic Nazca Lines.

To end the adventure, we will visit the Inca site of Los Paredones, an archaeological gem dating back to 1450 AD. Here, you will be transported back to the time of the Inca Empire expansion, marveling at a structure that has withstood the test of time, connecting Nazca glorious past with the present.

At the end of the tour, we will return to the city of Nazca to drop you off at your hotel.
