Chauchilla + Cahuachi +
Cantalloc Tour
This private combo tour is a thorough visit to three of the major archaeological sites in the Nazca area: Chauchilla Cemetery, the Cahuachi adobe pyramids, and the Cantalloc Aqueducts.
It is designed for travelers who want more than a quick stop. In around 5 hours, you see burial traditions, ceremonial architecture, ancient water engineering, and a brief visit to Paredones along the route.
“This route gives the Nazca story room to breathe: tombs, temples, water channels, and the remains of a later administrative center, all in one carefully paced visit.”
