highly recommend. - This was an unexpected pleasure. We booked it through PeruHop. We did the airplane tour of the Nazca lines in the morning and had time to waste before our trip back to Huacachina. I booked this for myself and 3 teenage boys. They loved it. They were able to walk down to the base of the aqueduct and see the water and even fish swimming in the water. We had plenty of time to explore the area. Our guide was great in his explanation of why the aquaducts were constructed here. He also answered questions about the Nazca area in general. I highly recommend this tour to gain more knowledge about the history of this area.

Definitely worth a visit! - I booked the private aqueduct tour through PeruHop on my recent travels. My guide was very knowledgeable and I found the tour interesting and amazing that the aqueducts are still functioning after all these years! The Inca people sure were advanced in their building and planning.

Pre-Inca engineering - Very beautiful aqueducts, an example of the pre-Inca engineering of the area. Even today the vast majority are still in force. It is on the outskirts of Nazca, you can get there by crossing the city or skirting it from the road and entering a few meters
