Itinerary:

The excursion begins with pick-up at your respective hotels.

• Then we will head north towards the Nazca Desert, following the Pan-American Highway. We will visit the Sitio María Museum, an interesting place where we will learn about the life of Dr. María Reiche, a lady of German origin who dedicated more than 50 years of her life to the protection and study of the lines. This place housed María Reiche for a period of more than 20 years, and finally in 1994 it was transformed into a site museum.

• There you can see the life of María Reiche through beautiful photos taken when she worked in the Nazca Desert many years ago. The old cabin that was her study centre can still be seen today, along with all her belongings, such as cameras, photographs, measuring instruments, among others. On one side of the museum you can see the tomb of María Reiche, where she was buried in 1998.

• Then we will continue to the metal tower of the Nazca Lines known as the Mirador, from where we can clearly see 2 of the famous Nazca figures, the Hands, the Tree, and part of the Lizard that is cut by the Pan-American Highway. Our guide will tell us about the theories of the Nazca Lines.

• Finally we will head towards a natural viewpoint known as the Hill, an interesting place where many straight lines converge. Here we can walk a little and appreciate the beauty of the famous Nazca Desert.

At the end of the excursion, you will be transferred back to your hotel.”
