Beskrivning
Travel 1,600 years in 2.5 hours: explore the Cantayoc aqueducts still in use, decipher a geoglyph in the desert, enter the Inca center of Los Paredones, and shape clay with a master Nazca ceramist.
Three cultures, one desert, 2.5 hours. This classic archaeological sightseeing tour of Nazca connects the hydraulic ingenuity of the Nazca, the political reach of the Incas, and the living ceramics of today — a multi-era narrative that you don't get by visiting just one site.
Your local guide will pick you up from your hotel in Nasca city at the agreed time. You'll start at the Cantayoc aqueducts, a 1,600-year-old hydraulic system from the late Nazca period that still distributes water in the valley. From there, you'll head up to a vantage point in the desert to see the Las Agujas or El Telar geoglyph (depending on the day's access conditions), with your host explaining its ritual interpretation on site.
History leaps forward centuries at Los Paredones, the Inca administrative and religious complex that marked the empire's expansion toward the south coast — the political counterpoint to the Nazca spiritual legacy.
The tour ends at the Tobi Ceramic Workshop, with master potter Rolando Calle, son of the renowned amauta Andrés Calle Flores. He will guide you through authentic Nazca pottery techniques, pigments, and iconography — a direct link between ancient Nazca art and the modern identity of Nazca. Drop-off at your hotel at the end of the tour.
