Usaca Sand Buggy & Sandboarding
Our adventure begins with a visit to the impressive Cahuachi, the most important ceremonial center of the Nasca culture. This majestic archaeological complex, built with adobe in the middle of the desert, was a sacred place where ceremonies and rituals were held more than 1,500 years ago. During the tour, you will be able to observe its pyramids, ceremonial plazas, and learn more about the mysteries of this fascinating pre-Inca civilization.
Next, we will continue to the Ocongalla Aqueducts, an incredible hydraulic engineering work built by the ancient Nasca people. These underground aqueducts, which still function today, demonstrate the advanced knowledge they had to harness water in the middle of the arid desert.
To finish the experience, we will enjoy an exciting adventure in the Usaca Desert. We will board powerful buggies to ride through the impressive dunes and feel the adrenaline as we cross the golden desert landscape. You will also have the opportunity to practice sandboarding, sliding down the dunes and enjoying an unforgettable experience full of fun and excitement.
A perfect tour for those who want to explore the millenary history of Nasca and experience the thrill of the desert adventure in a single day.
