Cahuachi Ceremonial Center Tour from Nasca
from US$ 39.19 per person
Cahuachi was the main ceremonial center of the Nasca culture: a complex of adobe pyramids and platforms built in the desert southwest of today's city. On this tour you leave from Nasca, walk the site with a local Spanish-speaking guide and learn why it was the religious and political heart of a society that ruled the southern coast.
It is a shared service of about 3 hours, with morning or afternoon departures and groups of up to 15 people. Entrance is included; water and snacks are not, so bring your own. It is a good choice if you have already seen the Lines and want to know more about the people who made them.
