Nazca Lines Observation Tower
Mirador de las Líneas de Nasca
A tower about 13 metres tall beside the Pan-American Highway, where you can see the “hands” and “tree” geoglyphs from the ground without taking a small plane.
The viewing tower stands beside the Pan-American Highway about 25 km north of Nazca city and is about 13 metres high. From the top you can see the lizard figure that the highway runs through, as well as the “hands” and “tree” geoglyphs, which makes it suitable for visitors who don't want to take a small plane. Nearby is a natural viewpoint hill (Mirador Natural), where a walk uphill reveals more straight lines and trapezoidal figures. Admission costs a few soles. You can take a bus toward Ica or a taxi to get there, and it is often visited together with the María Reiche Museum.
