Over
Korte feiten: Maria Reiche spent 50 years of her life protecting and studying the Nazca Lines, walking the desert in sandals made from old tires. She lived in a modest room in a local hotel and ate the same simple meal of bread and cheese for decades, dedicating everything to preserving these ancient geoglyphs.
Hoogtepunten: Visitors can stand in Maria Reiche's actual bedroom, preserved exactly as she left it with her books, maps, and a pair of her tire sandals still by the bed. The museum sits inside the house she eventually built with her own savings, where she would climb her homemade observation tower barefoot at dawn to sweep the desert floor with a broom.
