Nazca Sights

  1. Mirador Observation Tower

    You'll get only a sketchy idea of the lines at the Mirador Observation Tower , on the Panamericana 20km north of Nazca, which has an oblique view of three figures: the lizard, tree and hands (or frog, depending on your point of view).

Signs warning of landmines are a reminder that walking on the lines is strictly forbidden.
