Nazca is a coastal city in southern Peru, situated in one of the most arid regions in the world. During Spanish colonization, the area grew popular for its grape brandy, which the world now knows as “pisco.” Locals still refer to the brandy as nasca and it is sold locally as such, but pisco is more widely known as Peru’s national drink.
The city was named for the Nazca culture, which thrived here from 100 BC to 800 AD. In fact, a complex set of ancient aqueducts built by the Nazca people still functions today. Nazca is also famous for the Nazca Lines – ancient desert geoglyphs viewable by plane, and the Nazca mummies.
