Culture Tips
Nazca Lines
The Nazca lines are probably the flag ship of Nazca. Over centuries people created new mysteries about the creation, the meaning, the use etc. There are many theories, but there are still no exact answers. Find it out for yourself. Take the flight over in the morning hours, you will have the better view and for people with a bad stomach the time till they will eat something is shorter.
Cantalloc Aqueducts, Cahuachi and Chauchilla
Check out the Cantalloc Aqueducts. Some of these are still in use today, they served the people with water over centuries. The ceremonial center of Cahuachi might be really interesting, it is not very well preserved and a little percentage is uncovered, but people think it might hold the secret of the Nazca Lines. Visit a cemetery of a different kind, explore Chauchilla. The bodies are lying free, all orientated to the east for the sun rise. They are well preserved due to the dry climate, some of them do even have their hair attached to them.
