Nazca Lines, Peru

The Nazca Lines are a series of huge ground drawings near Lima. There are hundreds of drawings of different sizes and complexity levels, and the largest figures are over 200 m (660 ft) across! These figures are best seen from an airplane, or surrounding foothills. The purpose of the Nazca Lines is unclear though there are many hypotheses, one of which is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by their gods.
