NAZCA | PALPA AND NAZCA VIEWPOINT TOUR

Overview

The Nasca and Palpa lines are one of the most important legacies of Peruvian pre-Inca cultures, located between the valleys of Nasca and Palpa. In this vast desert, enormous figures are placed in perfect harmony as geometric lines and figures of animals, plants, humans, and gods. Many scientists and researchers have raised theories interpreting the lines as an astronomical calendar or a place of water worship, built by the Paracas and Nasca (600 BC – 750 AD).
