About Nazca
Nazca is a desert town on Peru's south coast, famous for giant ancient lines and figures etched into the plain, best seen from the air or a viewing tower.
Nazca lies in a coastal valley in southern Peru, at the foot of the Andes, in one of the driest stretches of the country. On the plains nearby, the Nazca Lines, giant figures of a hummingbird, a monkey, a spider and a condor, together with straight lines and geometric shapes, were etched in the stony ground between about 500 BC and AD 500. UNESCO lists them as a World Heritage site, and the German mathematician Maria Reiche spent decades mapping them.
