This was informed yesterday by the Ministry of Culture, who also explained that the driver will receive penalty charges for these actions.
The people in charge of the security in the Pampas de Nazca intervened the driver and proceeded to report to the authorities (Policía Nacional del Perú de Nazca).
The truck left deep tracks in an area approximately of 100 meters, the Ministry of Culture pointed out. But it’s not the first time these lines, considered a World Heritage Site, have been affected before. In 2015, informed Semana, a man wrote his name on one of the geoglyphs and was put into custody by the prosecutors.
Also, in 2014, Greenpeace activists entered the area where a hummingbird-shaped geoglyph is located and left 45 pieces of fabric with the message “Time for change! The future is renewable, Greenpeace”, reported Semana. They were given a 2-year sentence in prison.
