The Enigmatic Nazca Spiral: A Must-See Wonder

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the Nazca town center. Head southwest on Avenida de la Cultura, then turn right onto Avenida Los Incas. Continue straight until you reach the Pan-American Highway (Route 1). Turn left (south) and drive for approximately 20 kilometers. Look for signs indicating the Nazca Spiral location (latitude: -14.6800582, longitude: -75.1027932). There is parking available near the site, but be aware that you may need to hike a short distance to reach the spiral itself.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Nazca Spiral using public transportation, start at the Nazca bus terminal, located in the center of town. Look for buses heading towards the Nazca Lines or specifically to 'Caminos del Inca'. Upon getting on, inform the driver you want to get off at the Nazca Spiral. The bus ride generally takes about 30-40 minutes and costs approximately 10-15 soles. After disembarking, it’s a short walk to the site. Follow the signs or ask locals for directions as you approach the location (latitude: -14.6800582, longitude: -75.1027932).

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Nazca town to the Nazca Spiral. Taxis are readily available throughout Nazca. The fare should range between 40-60 soles, depending on negotiation and time of day. The ride will take around 20-30 minutes. Ensure you show the driver the coordinates (latitude: -14.6800582, longitude: -75.1027932) to avoid any confusion. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance to the actual spiral.
