Carlos made the tour very interesting and funny. The aqueducts themselves are fascinating and deserve the UNESCO status they are hoping to achieve! A great quick tour while waiting to move on from Nazca with the tour buses.

The visit of the aqueduct surprising for the antiquity and current functioning. The lines in a very nice setting and the exceptional guide.

NAZCA is more than just "its lines" however beautiful and fascinating they may be. The aqueducts of Cantalloc and the ruins of Paredones are definitely worth a visit. It is located on the outskirts near Nazca which is easy to visit and there is no time wasted. And it is ideal to visit these 2 sites with a guide to have the necessary explanations and understand everything about the History of these 2 sites. Moreover, there are far fewer people on these 2 sites, so you will be relatively quiet. P.S.: In case of heat remember to bring a bottle of water!!!
