Nazca is the capital of the district and province of Nazca, in the department of Ica. It is located on the right bank of the Aja River, 436 kilometers south of Lima. It is world-renowned for the enigmatic "Nazca Lines" and has a rich pre-Hispanic history that attracts tourism to this area.

Very close to Nazca is the district of Vista Alegre, which, due to its proximity, forms a single city. Although small, it features adobe buildings, organized streets, and republican-style constructions. The Plaza de Armas of Nazca is the heart of the city. It is a lively and green space, with fountains that create a charming atmosphere inviting visitors to enjoy the surroundings.

In the plaza, you will find the Santiago Apóstol de Nazca Church, the main religious temple. Although its design and architecture are simple, it holds great significance for the local community.

The Nazca culture emerged from one of Peru's most advanced and ancient civilizations. This community mastered hydraulic engineering, building the Cantalloc aqueducts—underground channels designed to transport and utilize water in the desert. This system is still functional today and is a point of interest for tourists. Additionally, many sites are associated with this culture and its forms of expression, such as the Nazca Lines—giant geoglyphs that can only be seen from the air, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site; Cahuachi, an adobe ceremonial center crucial for understanding the Nazca worldview; and the Chauchilla Cemetery, an archaeological site where mummies have been preserved in excellent condition thanks to the desert climate.

All of this makes Nazca a key destination in Peru. The combination of history, mystery, and unique landscapes allows visitors to immerse themselves in the culture of this civilization, offering an unforgettable experience.
