Ruin in Nasca

+ Add a Photo

V!VA User‘s Description

Although Nazca is probably best know for the Nazca Lines, there are other activities that will interest visitors in the area. Sand boarding is a popular activity, in particular on the dune Cerro Blanco. Mountain biking and horseback riding are other popular activities in the area.

The town of Nazca has two museums: The Mueso Antonini, which highlights pottery of the area, and the Casa-Mueso Maria Reiche, which has artifacts and information about historical sites in the area.

A little bit outside of the city is the Cantayoc Aqueduct and the Inca ruins of Paredones. Also outside of the city is the Chauchilla cemetery, which has ancient tombs for visitors to see.
