Description
Delve into Nazca's rich heritage, from ingenious hydraulic systems to ancient administrative centers and skilled craftsmanship.
The Nazca culture thrived in the arid desert by mastering hydraulic engineering, using stone, boulders, and Huarango logs to harness groundwater. The well-preserved Cantalloc Aqueducts exemplify their achievement.
Next, we'll explore Los Paredones, an Inca administrative center near Nazca, established around 1470. Built initially in adobe and later in stone, it facilitated administrative control and connectivity between the Coast and the Sierra.
We'll then visit ceramic workshops to discover the ancient Nasca civilization's techniques for crafting vibrant vessels. Finally, at the Gold Workshop, we'll learn the intricate process through which miners extract gold from rocks.
