You've seen the Nazca Lines — now what? 6 plans

You flew the Lines and still have time. Good news: Nazca has much more to offer. Here are six plans so you don't run out of things to do —and the best finish, right on the square.

1. Cahuachi, the adobe city

One of the largest adobe ceremonial centers in the world, deep in the desert. Its scale and silence are striking. Many visit it on the buggy tour, which blends adventure and archaeology.

2. The Cantalloc Aqueducts

The puquios (spiral aqueducts) the Nazca built centuries ago that still work today. A feat of ancient engineering you can walk around.

3. The Chauchilla cemetery

Pre-Inca tombs with mummies and textiles preserved by the desert. It's different, photogenic and thought-provoking.

4. Planetarium, viewpoint and main square

For the evening: a planetarium talk about the Lines, the highway viewpoint, or simply walking the Plaza de Armas for a drink. Not sure what to do at night? We've got you.

After all that desert, head down to the square and relax at El Adriano with a coffee or a cocktail. Want a ready-made plan? See Nazca in 2 days.
