Itinerary

Cahuachi

1 h 30 min Admission included

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel at the agreed time to head in the direction southwest of Nasca and arrive at Cahuachi ceremonial temple where we see the city that has been virtually destroyed by the floods and today is gradually restored by archaeologist Giuseppe Orefici.

Here we can see the Great Temple, The Great Pyramid, The Stepped Temple and surrounding ruins. Our guide will give you all the information about this great civilization and help us understand religious life was like at that time. Cahuachi is constituted of a set of ceremonial squares, staggered temples, and pyramids; all which served as a place of sacrifices and offerings. Archaeologists believe that the inhabitants of Cahuachi were the ones who built the Nazca lines, as it was located very close to them.
