Cantalloc Aqueducts (Acueductos de Cantalloc) in Nazca — view 2
The Cantalloc Aqueducts are an intricate network of ancient water channels constructed by the Nazca culture around 200 AD. Made from locally sourced stones, these underground and above-ground aqueducts stretch over 50 kilometres, ingeniously designed to transport water from the nearby Andes to the arid plains, some of which are still in use today. Visitors can wander along the well-preserved pathways, observing the circular shafts that provide access to the aqueducts, dotted across the landscape. Late afternoon offers the best light for photography, while nearby, the Nazca Lines can be explored for a broader understanding of the region’s ancient engineering marvels.

    5.0· 4 reviewsFrom ₹12,735

    One or two-day private tour — visit Cahuachi, Chauchilla Cemetery, and ancient aqueducts, exploring the mysteries of Nasca culture.

    The scenery was outstanding, and we uncovered lesser-known sites compared to the Nasca lines. It's definitely worth the trip. Our guide spoke French, and I recommend bringing water and a hat due to the full sun. My 11-year-old son was able to keep up easily.anais c on the Nazca trilogy tour: Cahuachi, Chauchilla Cemetery & Aqueducts tour

  • Guided small group tour of the Cantalloc Aqueducts in Nazca

    Guided small group tour of the Cantalloc Aqueducts in Nazca

    4.4· 11 reviewsFrom ₹1,861

    Small group tour exploring the ancient Cantalloc Aqueducts, an ingenious 2000-year-old irrigation system in the Nazca desert.

    The experience was quite disappointing, as the tour was advertised as one hour but ended up lasting only 30 minutes. Our guide, Luii, seemed rushed throughout, which hindered our ability to appreciate the aqueducts. We also had just 10 minutes to view the Nazca lines from the towers, and the journey from Huacachina to Nazca felt unengaging. Overall, the value of this tour did not meet expectations.lilianamC9425FS on the Guided small group tour of the Cantalloc Aqueducts in Nazca tour
