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.
Then pass through the forest where Huarango guide will explain the importance of this tree at that time and then reach Ocongalla aqueduct that is open pit with stone walls boulder in perfect condition. Its waters come from percolating meltwater from the Andean peaks and now its waters are used by farmers to irrigate their fields. End of the tour and return to hotel.

Go early to avoid the crowds
I hesitated to do this activity, but the combo lines of Nazca in the morning , Antonini museum then and Cahuachi is ideal (especially with José who is extraordinary; lots of explanations and a great hat)
Very nice pyramid. Seems like not many people come to see it but it is worth a visit. Very unique experience.
