The discovery and study of the Nazca lines always lead us to the name of María Reiche, a German nationalized Peruvian researcher. She dedicated her life to the study and preservation of the famous lines.

On May 15 a mass was celebrated in memory of Maria Reiche in the Mother Church of Nazca church. At the end of the ceremony, the national pavilion was raised and then a pilgrimage to the mausoleum called “Dama de las Pampas”. 

However, these were not the only activities that were carried out on Maria Reiche, since the citizens of Nazca always have her present and in her honor they dedicate the Tourist Week of the province date that coincides with the birth of the German scientist.
