Nazca lies on the arid flats, inland from the coast, along the Pan-American Highway. It would be just another town of little significance if not for the famous Nazca Lines.
There are a few sights and activities to take advantage of in and around Nazca. The Museo Didattico Antonini offers information on the Nazca culture and local sites,
particularly Cahuachi. The nearby Cemetery of Chauchilla contains Nazca remains and mummies. Just outside of town is the Paredone's ruins and the Cantallo aqueducts which are still used to irrigate fields in the area. All of these sites have small admission fees.
