Pirwa Backpackers Hostel Nazca Facilities:

Maria Reiche Planetarium

This is part of the Peruvian Institute of Astronomy. It offers year-round a show projected on the dome Maia Reiche's theory that the Nazca Lines comprise the world's largest celestial calendar and teaching about pre-columbian cultures of the area through their relationship with the universe: their constellations, myths, and enigmatic constructions. After the show, if weather permits, the audience can go outside to put their newfound knowledge of Andean astronomical beliefs to the test.

Nazca Lines

The Nazca Lines continue to captivate travelers. Covering miles of the desert floor in geometric shapes and pictures of animals and people, they can only be appreciated by flying over them. The construction method and purpose of these huge geoglyphs is still unknown- the most popular theories conclude that they were the world's largest astronomical calendar designed to correlate with celestial movements, please the gods, and remind them of the need to provide for the crops and harvests.

Maria Reiche Museum

The home of this tireless researcher who for more than 40 years studied and protected the Nazca lines is now a small museum where you can see the clutter of her tools, obsessive sketches, photos, models, and writings, and pay your respects at her tomb. Learn about the life and work of a woman who dedicated herself to protecting these lines (sweeping away debris with her broom, hiring a night watchman to guard the desert, blocking plans to irrigate the desert) and striving to unlock their message.

Cantayoc Aqueducts

The Nazca built a remarkable system of subterranean aqueducts thousands of years ago to combat droughts. Many underground channels survived seismic activity and are still in use by locals, extracting subsurface water in an irrigation system unique in Peru and the world. At Cantayoc you´ll find the best- preserved of these. No one can even be sure of the channels´ extent, as they are too dangerous to enter and explore- rather, we can only estimate their length through distances covered by manholes.
