25 km from Nazca – amazing plateau Palpa

Few people know that the famous Nazca, not only in Peru, and bears the enigmatic images. Just 25 kilometers away is the town of Palpa, situated on the plateau called Palpa Pampa. It also suffered hundreds of similar lines, bands and dozens of drawings. Local people know about them for a long time, but the interest of the scientists appeared only in the early 1990s thanks to the Swiss researcher enigmas of the past Erich von Däniken.
