Cultural Topics • Los incas, reyes de las montañas. Cuzco was the capital city of the Incas from around 1200 to 1532 AD. It is 10,800 feet above sea level. Today it welcomes about one million visitors a year. Many visitors arrive on the day of the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere during the month of June, when the city of Cuzco celebrates the Festival of the Sun in honor of the god Inti. One popular destination 50 miles northwest of Cuzco is Machu Picchu. • Las líneas de Nazca. The Nazca Lines are drawings on the ground called geoglyphs. The Nazca people made them before the year 700 AD by removing the reddish-brown pebbles that cover the surface of the Nazca desert. When the gravel is removed, the lines contrast sharply with the light-colored earth beneath. There are hundreds of figures, from simple lines to stylized spiders, monkeys, fish, and lizards. The ridges are only about 10 cm to 30 cm deep. The dry, windless climate of the region helps preserve the lines. It is believed that the lines were drawn for religious reasons. Activating Prior Knowledge • Ask students to divide a sheet of paper into three sections with these headings: the map of Peru, the Incas, the Nazca Lines. Then have them look through this section and fill in the information they already have about Peru under each heading.
