LA CASA MUSEO MARIA REICHE, is a house-museum inaugurated in 1994. It is located in Nazca.

In this place he lived and carried out his main studies. In a garden next door is the tomb of the researcher who died in 1998 at the age of 95 in Lima.

Maria Reiche began a life dedicated to the study and investigation of the Nazca lines in 1946, stimulated by the studies of the American archaeologist Paul Kosok. Mathematics, geography and physics were of great interest to her. For this reason, in 1992 the government granted her the title of honorary citizen of Peru, which was made official with her definitive nationalization the following year.

THE MIRADOR LÍNEAS DE NAZCA, is another way to see the mysterious figures and lines of the Nazca desert. In this excursion we will travel along the Panamerican Highway, which crosses the archaeological zone, allowing you to appreciate several straight lines. In the area there is a large metal tower of 13 meters high from which you can see very clearly 2 of the famous figures or geoglyphs of Nazca, also allows you to see several geometric figures and many straight lines that run through the Nazca desert. A few kilometers from the viewpoint is located a natural viewpoint from where you can see lines and trapezoids. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
