Combo tour from Nazca
Chauchilla Cemetery and
Cantalloc Aqueducts Tour
This private combo tour brings together two of Nazca’s most fascinating ground-level sites: the mummy-filled tombs of Chauchilla Cemetery and the spiral-shaped Cantalloc aqueducts that helped an ancient desert civilization survive.
It is an efficient, high-value way to deepen the story after a Nazca Lines flight: one stop reveals burial customs and desert preservation, while the other shows the engineering intelligence that carried water through one of the driest regions on earth.
“Chauchilla shows how the Nazca people honored the dead. Cantalloc shows how they kept life moving through the desert.”
