Peru’s expansive southern coastal desert, one of the most arid places on earth, is home to the enigmatic Nasca Lines - but Nasca and the surrounding area are indeed much more than the famous lines drawn in the sands. It’s a remarkable and even mystical place that was the cradle of great pre-Inca civilizations and today is home to an unexpectedly rich biodiversity among the deep, dry folds of earth. Those visitors who take a few days to explore the area, beyond a quick overflight of the Nasca Lines, come away amazed at how much there is to do and experience.
