Nazca & Palpa Lines
Land Tour to the towers of Nazca & Palpa Lines
Duration: 3 Hours
Daily Departures: 09:00 hrs. / 14:00 hrs.
Location: Nazca, Peru
Trip Style: Private
Thousands of years ago, hidden in the valley of Nazca, a civilization flourished. In a desert so dry that it rains less than an inch every year, the landscape changes as lines etched into rocks and sand take shape to form simple designs: triangles, swirls, circles. Some of these forms come together to create more complex shapes: a condor, a monkey, a hummingbird - these are the famous Nazca lines. There is some speculation behind their meaning, but in a region that receives so little precipitation, it is clear that water was an important factor. The size of these drawings suggests that perhaps they were not meant to be viewed from the ground, but from the God’s above, as an offering to receive water and fertility of crops.

Description
At a coordinated time, a representative will pick you up from your hotel. Our land excursion begins with a glimpse of the geoglyphs from a natural viewpoint. From here, you will be able to see perfect lines etched into the surface of the desert, where the true magnitude of these images will really sink in. Your next stop is the tower of Marie Reiche, where you will be able to see the figures of the hand, tree and lizard. The house of Maria Reiche, a woman who dedicated her life to protecting the Nazca lines, has been turned into a museum with her personal objects, artifacts, pictures, and information on her research are on display. The tour ends with a view of eight distinct figures from the Palpa Lines tower. From here, we head back to Nazca where we will drop you off at your hotel.
