History of Nazca

JuteVilla
There are two versions of the Spanish foundation. According to the writings of chroniclers, it was founded on October 28, 1548, commissioned by Pedro de la Gasca peacemaker by Alonso de Mendoza. The other version says that it was founded by Viceroy García Hurtado de Mendoza, 5th Marquis of Cañete, in 1591.

Nasca was also known for producing a grape brandy, similar to pisco consumption intended for slaves, and the local people called it Nazca. It also said there was the first grape brandy (pisco) at Hacienda Cahuachi for African American slave owners of this estate
