Nazca Lines Full Day
The Nazca Lines are enormous geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert, near the city of Nazca in Peru. They were created by the Nazca culture between about 200 BC and AD 600. The figures were made by removing dark stones from the desert surface to reveal the lighter soil underneath. There are hundreds of straight lines, geometric shapes, and drawings of animals such as a hummingbird, a monkey, and a spider, some measuring hundreds of meters. Because of their large size, they can only be fully seen from the air. Researchers believe they may have had religious, astronomical, or ceremonial purposes, and today they are one of the most famous archaeological sites in Peru.
