Pampa de Nazca

The Pampa de Nazca is a vast, flat desert area in southern Peru, best known for the Nazca Lines—large, ancient geoglyphs etched into the ground. Created by the Nazca culture around 500 BCE to 500 CE, these mysterious lines depict animals, plants, and geometric shapes, visible mainly from the air. The region's dry climate has helped preserve these designs for centuries. The Pampa de Nazca is an important archaeological and cultural site, offering insights into ancient civilizations and their practices related to astronomy, religion, and community life.
