Duration: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes
Location: 4 km (2.5 miles) from the city of Nazca
Explore one of the most impressive feats of ancient engineering in South America with a visit to the Cantalloc Aqueducts, built by the Nazca culture over 1,500 years ago. Located just a few minutes outside the city of Nazca, this tour is perfect for those wanting to witness how the pre-Columbian people mastered the harsh desert environment.
The Cantalloc Aqueducts are a series of spiral-shaped wells and underground channels that still function today, providing water to local farmland. Ingeniously designed, these aqueducts tap into underground water sources and use gravity and filtration to deliver clean water year-round — a testament to the advanced hydraulic knowledge of the Nazca civilization.
As you walk around the spirals (known locally as puquios), your guide will explain how the system works and how it has helped sustain life in this dry region for centuries.
Tour Includes:
Round-trip transport from Nazca
Guided tour with detailed explanation of the aqueducts
Visit to nearby agricultural fields using the ancient water system
Recommendations:
Bring sun protection and water
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Ideal for families, students, and history lovers
