Descripción
Are you ready to travel from the heart of the Inca Empire to the mysteries of the desert coast? Our Nazca from Cusco 3 Days/2 Nights package is the perfect adventure tour for the daring traveler seeking an unforgettable contrast. This itinerary has been designed to efficiently transport you from the Andean altitude of Cusco to the ancient Nazca culture, famous for its enigmatic geoglyphs, a World Heritage Site.
This expedition combines the comfort of overnight travel in a luxury bus (sleeper/VIP bus) with the excitement of daytime exploration in the desert. The highlight will be the flight over the Nazca Lines, the only way to appreciate the full magnitude of the gigantic figures of the Hummingbird, Monkey, and Astronaut, whose mystery remains to this day. In addition, you will immerse yourself in the hydraulic engineering of the Cantalloc Aqueducts and the secrets of the necropolis of the pre-Inca civilization. This is a journey of contrasts, from Inca stone to sand, revealing another surprising facet of Peru. Volga Tours handles the complex logistics, so all you have to do is get ready for adventure. The desert is calling!
