This small town is located on the southern coast of Peru. This area is best known for the Nazca Lines, a group of gigantic designs drawn in the desert, which include a monkey, a condor and a lizard, among many others. These lines have been studied for many years, and there are many theories as to why these lines exist. The best way to view the lines is by air; however you can see three figures from an observation tower in the desert. Another interesting site in this area is the Cemetario de Chauchilla. At this cemetery you will see bones, skulls, mummies, pottery shards and pieces of clothing. As well as the cemetery, there are aqueducts, fossil beds and other archaeological sites in the area.
