The Nazca Lines, located in the arid coastal plain of southern Peru, are a series of large ancient geoglyphs etched into the ground. These remarkable designs, stretching across nearly 1,000 square kilometers, were created by the Nazca culture between 500 BCE and 500 CE. The lines depict a variety of figures, from simple geometric shapes to elaborate representations of animals, plants, and human figures. Among the most famous are the hummingbird, spider, and monkey, each spanning hundreds of meters. The purpose of the Nazca Lines remains a mystery, with theories suggesting they had astronomical, religious, or calendrical significance. Best viewed from the air, these enigmatic creations continue to fascinate archaeologists, historians, and tourists alike, drawing countless visitors to marvel at their scale and precision.
