Nazca

We made a short stop in Nazca to admire the famous lines, not from a plane, but by climbing different miradores!

We saw a lot of large straight lines, 4 geoglyphs (depicting animals) from the Nazca culture and a dozen figures from the lesser-known and even older Paracas culture (the Palta lines, depicting more human forms).

They are believed to have had ritual astronomical functions, although their significance remains largely shrouded in mystery. More than 2500 years old, they remain well preserved because it doesn't rain here 🏜️Les mer
