Maria Reiche Museum Tour with Nazca Lines Viewpoints
From €56 per person
See availability →This Maria Reiche Museum tour pairs her house museum with a 13-metre tower and a hilltop viewpoint, guided, with hotel pickup and drop-off in Nazca.
This Maria Reiche Museum tour keeps your feet on the ground and still gives you a proper view of the lines. After pickup from your hotel in Nazca, the first stop is the house museum of the German scientist who devoted her life to studying them.
The museum opened in 1994 on the Panamericana Sur. Inside are her belongings, photographs, her original plans and the models behind her research. It gives the lines a human story before you see them with your own eyes.
Then you climb a metal lookout tower, 13 metres tall, for a wide view across the desert. A guide helps you spot what stretches below.
- Figures such as the hands, the tree and the lizard, viewed from the top
- Straight lines and trapezoids crossing the plain
- The cat figure, seen from a natural viewpoint on a hilltop
The tour ends with a ride back to your hotel. The museum entrance, the tower and the natural lookout are all covered, while meals, drinks, tips and personal expenses are not. Guiding is in English or Spanish.
