Itinerary

1. Nazca

   At the designated time you will be picked up from your hotel and then driven to the upper part of the Nazca Valley, towards the Cantalloc area. During the journey we will visit the Inca ruins of Caxamarca, a tambo, which means a resting place, built a long time ago, when the Incas expanded their empire along the Peruvian coasts. In this place we will explore the stone enclosures and receive interesting information about the history of the Incas from our guide. Later we will visit an archaeological area known as Las Agujas, where it is possible to observe a huge trapezoid from the top of a small hill. Here you will receive information about the Nazca Lines and have the opportunity to have a closer view of a famous design built over a thousand years ago.
