Literally a private tour! - So interesting to find out that Nazca culture goes beyond Nazca Lines! My driver/guide Carlos was super nice and very informative, shared many stories and facts about the site. It might be worth knowing though that this is still an active archeological site for most of the year so you might want to check if it’s open while planning a trip. On a positive site - few years from now you might be able to see a lot more than I did!

Wonderful Peruvian Pyramids. - Our guide was wonderful. We learned a lot about the pyramids here that we did not know and it gave us even more appreciation for Peru. It was particularly interesting to me as I have been to the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt.
