More about Nazca Lines
The Nazca Lines are believed to have been created by the Nazca culture and are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. The geoglyphs are best viewed from the air, as they are drawn on such a large scale. Although their exact purpose is unknown, they may have had astronomical or religious significance. Visitors can take a flight over the lines or view them from nearby observation towers.
