What are the Nazca Lines?
The Nazca Lines, located in the arid Peruvian desert, are believed to have been created by the Nazca culture between 500 BCE and 500 CE. These large-scale geoglyphs cover an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers. Some of the lines are simple lines or geometric shapes, while others depict various plants, animals, and shapes.
Researchers believe that the reasons behind the creation of the lines vary. Some theories suggest they might have been part of religious practices, astronomical calendars, or even alien landing strips, though no theory has been definitively proven. The lines were made by removing the reddish pebbles that cover the desert surface to reveal the white earth beneath, creating a contrast that can be seen from above.
The Nazca Lines were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, ensuring their protection and recognition as one of the most important cultural treasures in the world. Join us on this fascinating Nazca lines tour by plane and become part of the ongoing mystery that continues to attract scholars and tourists alike.
