Description
Discover the wonders of Nazca on a day trip adventure departing from the Oasis of Huacachina or the city of Ica.
We will comfortably pick you up from your hotel, whether it is in the idyllic Oasis of Huacachina or the vibrant city center of Ica. We will embark on an exciting road trip of nearly 3 hours, leading us to our first stop: the fascinating house and museum of María Reiche, located 28 kilometers from the city of Nazca.
At this iconic site, you will discover María Reiche’s passionate studies on the mysterious Nazca Lines. You will be amazed by the photos, blueprints, maps, and various items of interest that reveal the secrets of these enigmatic figures.
Our tour continues to a viewpoint on the Panamericana Sur, from where you will admire three of the most impressive Nazca Lines: the tree, the lizard, and the frog. A spectacular view you won’t forget!
We will continue the Nazca tour to the impressive Cantalloc Aqueducts, just 4 kilometers from Nazca. This incredible hydraulic system, built by the Nasca culture in the 6th century, remains a testament to the ingenious ancient engineering that enabled irrigation in a desert region.
Our next stop will be the Inca archaeological center Los Paredones. This historic site, which served as an administrative control point between the mountains and the coast during the reign of Tupac Yupanqui, will offer you the opportunity to explore its fascinating remains with a professional guide.
To conclude this incredible excursion, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant (optional). Finally, we will take you back to your hotel in the Oasis of Huacachina or the center of Ica.
