The Nazca culture is famous for its [[Nazca Lines|desert line drawings]], the product of complex construction projects carried out by a hierarchical society from 500 BC to AD 500. Contrary to the popular belief that the lines and figures can be seen only from an aircraft, they are also visible from the surrounding foothills and other high places.<ref name="GardnerCroix1991">''[https://books.google.com/books?id=mYPuAAAAMAAJ Gardner's Art Through the Ages: Ancient, medieval, and non-European art]''.

Local tour companies sell flights (''sobrevueltos'') over 12 main figures, the most famous of which are the hummingbird, the condor, and the monkey. The spiral tail of the monkey inspired the spiral in the "P" of the Perú logo, which is also found on its currency. [[UNESCO]] declared the Nazca Lines a [[World Heritage Site]] in 1994.
