5.00Fantastic experience: Carlos, the guide, was very competent and knowledgeable, as well as in love with his city and its extraordinary archaeological heritage; it allowed me to really immerse myself in the culture of Nazca and the visit was almost moving. Not to be underestimated, he also spoke excellent Italian and, after a month of travel, I was really pleased to use my language with someone. Everything went very calmly, I never felt that I was in any hurry. Serious agency, I recommend it.
An experience to discover

5.00The Cemetery was one of the most unbelievable places that I have ever visited. The shear magnitude of the grave site was awe inspiring, and the ability to see dozens of mummies and hundreds of human bones scattered around was a truly once in a lifetime experience. Carlos was was an amazing guide, and he was able to answer any questions I had with knowledge and comprehensive information.
