Itinerary
At 11:00 or 2:00 pm. Leaving from your hotel in our private car we drive to Cahuachi site, located on the west of Nasca, 20 km away from Nasca. There you will see most impressive monument is this 30 metre high pyramid which dominated the ancient city. It was built by modifying a natural high point in the land. As well as the pyramid, there were 40 other structures, each sculpted from the landscape itself and enhanced by massive mud brick adobe walls. Extensive plazas and terraces once covered the land here, nearly 2,000 years ago. It was built on the edge of the desert plateau, called a pampa, bounded by two lush river valleys. This was the home of the ancient Nasca people. North of Cahuachi is the pampa and the Nasca lines. The city seemed to have been dedicated solely to ritual and ceremonial center. Also we will see Estaqueria site, It has been characterized to have series of columns of trunks of huarango, placed on platforms, that were used like solar observatory = 3 hours of guiding tour.
