Tesoros ocultos en Nasca

Hidden Gems

Beyond the aerial flights, Nasca’s landscape features the Inca administrative center of Los Paredones, built with sun-dried adobe bricks and stone. The Torre María Reiche offers a ground-level perspective of the Hand and Tree geoglyphs from a 12-meter metal platform. Further south in the Marcona district, coastal viewpoints like Mirador de la Ninfa overlook the Pacific, while local green spaces such as Parque San Juan Bautista and Parque Justo Pastor serve as community gathering points.
