TOUR DESCRIPTION |
| |
The NAZCA LINES are geoglyphs and geometric line clearings in the Peruvian desert. They were made by the Nazca people, who flourished between 200 BCE and 600 CE along rivers and streams that flow from the Andes. The desert itself runs for over 1,400 miles along the Pacific Ocean. The NAZCA LINES are located in the Pampa region of Peru, the desolate plain of the Peruvian coast which comprises the Pampas of San Jose (Jumana), Socos, El Ingenio and others in the province of NASCA, which is 400 Km. South of Lima, covers an area of approximately 450 km2, of sandy desert as well as the slopes of the contours of the Andes. Dark red surface stones and soil have been cleared away, exposing the lighter-colored subsoil, creating the "lines". From the air, the "lines" include not only lines and geometric shapes, but also depictions of animals and plants in stylized forms . Some of the forms, including images of humans, grace the steep hillsides at the edge of the desert. The Nazca probably used grids for their giant geoglyphs, as their weavers did for their elaborate designs and patterns. |
