From €36 per person
See availability →A Cantalloc and Paredones tour with a live guide, about two hours: underground water channels, old ruins to wander through and a viewpoint over the Aguja loom.
This Cantalloc and Paredones tour is a compact two-hour walk through the practical side of ancient Nazca. A live guide leads you first to the Cantalloc aqueducts, a network of buried channels that kept people alive in the dry desert, and explains how they were built and what they meant to the community.
Next come the ruins of Paredones. You stroll through the old structures while the guide brings the place to life with stories of how the Nazca civilization lived and built.

- the Aguja loom, a landmark that Nazca visitors know well
The last stop is the Aguja loom, the telar aguja, where you can take pictures, enjoy the scenery and look out from a high viewpoint over the needles geoglyphs, part of the Nazca Lines. The tour ends there, and there is room to ask questions throughout. Getting to the meeting point is up to you, since transportation to it is not included, and meals, drinks and optional tips are extra.
