Guided Tours






The Nazca Lines, the huge geometric designs (of monkeys, spiders birds, etc.), drawn in the desert and visible only from the air, remain a mystery. The lines spread over hundred of square miles and were created by removing the rust-colored stones that cover the desert, revealing the light-colored soil beneath. In this dry, rainless environment erosion has been practically nil, allowing the markings to endure virtually intact for 1,500 to 2,000 years.

In Nazca the tour can include a stop at a potter’s workshop for a demonstration of how the potter forms a lump of clay into a perfect hollow sphere in minutes.
