Tour Overview

The Nazca Lines figures were drawn in the desert of Sudewestern Peru by ancient Nazca peoples. The drawings were created on such a large scale is such that the shapes can be readily discerned only from the air.

Who made the Nazca Lines?

leading to a variety of theories about their purpose the Nazca Lines were mainly created in the time of the Nazca civilization which flourished in the area from 200 BC to about 600 AD. however, there is evidence that previous civilizations were using the Nazca plateau and they are the Paracas civilization. petroglyphs, graves, pyramids, houses, and other ruins of these civilizations have been found near the lines.

Characteristics of the Nazca lines’ geography and terrain:

• The area of the Peruvian desert in which the Nazca Lines were drawn is parallel to the Andes and the Pacific Ocean.
• Thanks to the Humbolt current plus the Andes create a desert wheater with no rain.
• The desert is not sandy but made of dark red surface stones and soil with lighter-colored subsoil beneath.
• The lines were created by clearing, removing away the darker upper layer (small rocks eroded from foothills to reveal the lighter subsoil or ground.

The lines would have taken a long time to create, several generations, perhaps up to five centuries, and many people contributed to their creation.

As to the purpose of the Nazca Lines. It seems incredible that such simply-made drawings have survived for so many hundreds of years.

some have seen a mysterious element to this. But there is also a natural explanation: the surface is made of stone, not sand, and the climate of the area is such that there is practically no erosion. True it seems that The Nazca people chose an excellent place for an enduring monument.
