Pictures clouded in secrecy in Pampa Colorada
Cut into the stony desert are large numbers of lines, not only parallels and geometrical figures, but also a killer whale, a monkey, birds (one with a wing span of over 100 m), a spider and a tree. The lines, which can best be appreciated from the air, are located above the Ingenio valley on the Pampa de San José, about 22 km north of Nazca, and across the Ingenio river, on the plain around Palpa. The Pan-American Highway passes close to, even through, the Lines.
