Tour: Nasca Aqueducts, Paredones, and "The Needle" Geoglyph

This fascinating tour takes you through three key sites that showcase the remarkable cultural and engineering heritage of the ancient Nasca civilization:

1. Nasca Aqueducts
Discover the hydraulic system built by the ancient Nasca people, who, faced with the harsh desert environment, located underground water channels and developed aqueducts that are still used today to irrigate crops. This system reflects their advanced environmental knowledge and ingenuity.

2. Inca Administrative Center – Paredones
Visit Paredones, an administrative complex built during the Inca expansion into southern Peru. The site reveals Inca influence in the region through its architecture, layout, and territorial management.

3. “The Needle” or “The Loom” Geoglyph
End the tour with a visit to one of Nasca’s mysterious geoglyphs, known as “The Needle” or “The Loom.” Etched into the desert floor, this figure is part of the famous Nasca Lines and may have held astronomical or ceremonial significance for the ancient Nasca culture.
