Nazca

Nazca is a city known mainly for one reason. It is in its vicinity that there are amazing geolifs, i.e. lines carved in the desert. They are arranged in specific shapes. Here you can see, among others hummingbird, monkey or frigate. They measure up to 300 m in height. Researchers are still not entirely sure why they were created. It is known that the Nazca Indians are behind their creation. Probably the geolifs they forged were used during rituals related to summoning rain.

The Nazca region is very, very dry. Due to their unique nature, they are included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. It is best to look at the drawings from Nazca from above. This is facilitated by the observation tower (13 m high) and tourist flights organized there. One of the drawings (El Candelabro) can be admired during a boat trip to the Paracas Peninsula.

For whom?

If you would like to see one of the most famous attractions in all of Peru, then be sure to stop by Nazca. In fact, remember that from ground level geolifs appear to be mere lines / ditches. Only from a considerable height you can admire their shapes and sizes.
