Explore the Cahuachi Pyramids by ATV. Visit the desecrated pre-Inca cemetery. Discover ancient aqueducts in the middle of the desert. Take a photo with the thousand-year-old tree.

At 3:00 p.m., we start our adventure from the Plaza de Armas in Nasca. We'll hop on our ATV and ride along beautiful trails to the Ocongalla Aqueduct, built over 1,500 years ago by the Nazca civilization to collect groundwater in one of the driest deserts on the planet. Next, we'll skirt the Nazca River, dodge green trails, and cross deserts and hills until we reach the Cahuachi Pyramids, an imposing complex of monumental adobe structures covering more than 24 square kilometers in the middle of the desert that served as an important ceremonial and pilgrimage center for the Nazca culture.
We'll visit the desecrated cemetery near Cahuachi, an archeological site of the Nazca culture that for decades suffered devastating looting by huaqueros (grave robbers).

We'll also admire beautiful desert landscapes and the lush green river lined with carob trees.
