Nazca Lines

The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of southern Peru. These enormous and intricate designs etched into the desert floor have puzzled researchers and intrigued visitors for centuries.

Created by the Nazca culture between 500 BCE and 500 CE, the lines consist of various shapes, including animals, plants, and geometric patterns, some of which are several hundred feet in size.

The significance and purpose of the Nazca Lines remain a mystery. Many theories suggest that the lines had astronomical or ritualistic purposes, while others speculate that they served as pathways or markers for water sources.

You can view Nazca lines from several viewing towers along the road, but we recommend taking a scenic flight over the Nazca Desert to witness all of these extraordinary creations. It allows you to fully grasp the magnitude of the designs. Check the links section for flightseeing providers vetted by Fyno curators.
