See for yourself what UNESCO called the “most outstanding group of geoglyphs anywhere in the world” from this far-flung Peruvian port. The giant drawings and geometrical figures of the Nazca Lines were scratched on the surface of the arid Peruvian coastal plain between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500 yet remain virtually undamaged to this day. ‘Flightseeing’ tours offer access. Other tours explore the sculpted cliffs and colorful desert landscapes of Paracas National Reserve; the nearby Ballestas Islands, Peru’s answer to the Galápagos Islands; and more.
