The Mysterious Nazca Lines
The enigmatic Nazca
Lines are the most outstanding achievement of the Paracas and Nazca
cultures who populated the arid Ica desert between 900 BC and 800 AD.
The Nazca Lines are the largest geoglyphs in the world and due to their
size are only visible from an airplane. Located mainly in three areas –
Nazca, Cahuachi and Palpa – the Nazca Lines consist of more than 800
geoglyphs and cover approximately 450 sq. km. The most famous Nazca
Lines are: the condor, the spider, the monkey, the hummingbird and the
pelican. Even today scientists dispute on the original meaning and use
of the enigmatic Nazca Lines. Thanks to the tireless work of Maria
Reiche they have become known worldwide and are a must destination when
you visiting Peru!
