Pisco Vineyards
In Nazca you´ll be surprised to see lush green vineyards sprawling across land reclaimed from the desert. Wine-lovers can´t afford to skip a visit to one of the city's wine cellars to learn about the traditional process of producing one of Peru's most famous products, the celebrated Pisco and participate in a wine-tasting to sample local wares of this aromatic white-grape brandy which originated in the region 400 years ago. It can be drunk alone or mixed in the country´s national drink: the Pisco Sour.
Cantayoc Aqueducts
The Nazca built a remarkable system of subterranean aqueducts thousands of years ago to combat droughts. Many underground channels survived seismic activity and are still in use by locals, extracting subsurface water in an irrigation system unique in Peru and the world. At Cantayoc you´ll find the best- preserved of these. No one can even be sure of the channels´ extent, as they are too dangerous to enter and explore- rather, we can only estimate their length through distances covered by manholes.
Festival of Vicuñas
This festival seeks to promote vicuña wool in the international market, showcase the Andean societies´ traditional relationship with nature and its resources, and rescue the Pre-Incan ritual method of corralling vicuña, the Chaccu: enclosing the extensive grasslands and vicuña with a human circle using music, songs, and spirited movements to lead them to the corral to be sorted and sheared. An impressive array of participants gathers in the Pampas Galeras National Reserve, locals and foreigners alike.
Maria Reiche Planetarium
This is part of the Peruvian Institute of Astronomy. It offers year-round a show projected on the dome Maia Reiche's theory that the Nazca Lines comprise the world's largest celestial calendar and teaching about pre-columbian cultures of the area through their relationship with the universe: their constellations, myths, and enigmatic constructions. After the show, if weather permits, the audience can go outside to put their newfound knowledge of Andean astronomical beliefs to the test.
