IMPORTANT ATTRACTIONS OF THE TOUR:

 

Nazca lines:

The lines etched in the ground represent gigantic figures of animals, plants and abstract over the pampas of Nazca.  The lines and geoglyphs were created by clearing the stones and piling them to either side of the lines, thus exposing and contrasting the stones with lighter- coloured soil underneath.

 

Described by Cieza de leon chronicler in middle of the XVI century and presented in the academy world by the Archaeologist Toribio Mejia in 1926. It is thought that the lines could have been made between 200 and 500 D.C.

 

Researchers suggest that this was achieved by using fixed points on the horizon to create the longer straight lines, and simple measuring devices, such as lengths of twine and sticks for the more intricate designs and curves.
