Nazca is a town in southern Peru, found in a narrow valley at the source of the Rio Grande. Thanks to its climate, with high temperatures, it is nicknamed the "city of eternal summer". The city is mostly famous for the millennium-old Nazca Lines, a series of imposing geoglyphs that were drawn on the sand between 500 BC and 500 AD by the ancient Nazca civilization. The geoglyphs can only be seen by flying over the area. The archaeological site of Cahuachi is also worth visiting. It was an ancient ceremonial center in the valley of the Rio Grande while the Chauchilla cemetery is where you can admire some of the objects of the ancient Nazca civilization.
