Inscribed on the List of the cultural heritage of the Humanity since 1994, this archaeological complex, formed by an immense network of lines and drawings of animals and plants attributed to the Nazca culture, but of which we do not know much, is mysterious to say the least... These lines, which cover a surface of some 350 km², were discovered by Paul Kosok in 1939. They were then studied by Hans Horkheimer and Maria Reiche, the latter having devoted the last 50 years of her life to them.

We can see some figures to the km 420 of the Panamericana, to 25 km of Nazca, from the top of a mirador of 12 m of height (S/ 2 the access): a hand, a lizard and a tree. One distinguishes clearly the figures, but one does not catch the amplitude of the accomplished work. Also a mirador in Palpa (S/ 2 the access).

By plane, you can see the whole area for 30 minutes (prefer early morning departures for less waiting at the airport and because it is often too windy in the afternoon for the planes to take off). The main companies have planes for four to seven passengers that can reach speeds of up to 220 km/hour. Beware, it's a bumpy ride! Don't plan to have a big breakfast before taking off... Also be aware that the French Embassy advises against flying over the lines while waiting for the implementation of safety measures since the accidents of 2008 and 2010 and recently in February 2022.

Some overflights (longer) also pass over the Palpa lines, new figures discovered a short time ago.

A vous couper le souffle
Avion indispensable pour découvrir une petite partie des lignes Nazca dont le mystère n'est pas encore clairement élucidé

En voiture, en quittant la ville directement lima, à 10km un miradore sur le côté de la panaméricaine. Et la en montant en haut, elle apparaisse devant nos yeux, les fameuse ligne de nazca. On peu deviner certaine forme et on essaye de comprendre pourquoi?

LES MYSTERIEUSES LIGNES
survol de 30 minutes, l'avion vire à gauche puis à droite afin que tous les passagers puissent voir au mieux les lignes. ÉPOUSTOUFLANT!!!!
par contre, niveau organisation, un peu d'attente car les groupes sont prioritaires. Attention pas de DAB donc prévoir CB ou CASH.
Mirador au bord de route permet aussi de surplomber pour 3 soles.
Pensez à aller voir les lignes de Palpa ( environ 45minutes en bus) qui sont à flanc de collines donc visibles à l’œil nu depuis la route ou un autre mirador.

After a little reflection, we decided to go around the lines of Nazca by the air. We're having landfills signed, which can frighten but what magic once in the air. It's just amazing. I do not regret this ascent in any way, because the watchdog does not allow this to be seen.

On peut admirer 3 dessins depuis un mirador situé le long de la route principale ce qui est déjà impressionnant.
