Yes! I have been to them twice! They are very hard to see when you are on the ground but from a tower or even better from a small airplane they can be seen very well. No one knows why they were made but since it never rains on the desert where they are located they have remained for hundreds of years.

There are two kinds of lines. One set of lines have animals and other figures. They are called geoglyphs. The other lines are trapezoids and rectangular joined by canals.

This history dates back over 2,500 years, when, for reasons that will be matter of discussion at a later chapters, people who enjoyed the vital liquid was stripped gradually until there was no other option but to migrate to areas where water still exists today. The Nasca is ancient pre-Inca culture, in Perú, excellent hydraulic engineers, who solved problems in the driest desert of the Peruvian coast, which did not let to their collapse until definitely the fluid stopped flowing through their valleys.

The rock on the top was removed so you could see the sand and they were removed in the shape of the design. Possibly, a heavy object is continuously dragged on the ground or some simply tools to dig slightly on the ground.
