Nazca Lines
The Nazca Lines are ancient geoglyphs.
wich They (The geoglyphs) are in the desert of Nazca, Perú. They are composed by
some hundreds of figures from simple
single line designs
as lines to complex zoomorphic, fitomorphic and geometric figures.
Theses designs are drawings on the land surface. S
ome drawings represent birds, llamas, jaguards, monkeys

??? (<---This sentence does not make sense-Please re-check it) As the years pass, some flights over the Nazca Lines have suffered different emergencies, being some of them fateful
(some flights? I thought we were talking about drawings). Despite this, there are a lot of tourist who continue
to visit this incredible place every year.
The Nazca Lines were declared as
a World Heritage
