Columbus Bear Travels Peru

Page 1

I've had such an interesting time in South America. I particularly loved the time I spent in Peru. What a fascinating place!

Last night, in my hotel, I was searching for something to read and came across a magazine with a photo of a lady called Maria Reiche in it.

Lots of people here seem to have heard of her and were really surprised that I hadn't. Can you help me please and see what you can find out? She had some sort of connection with the Nazca lines, I believe. The owners of my hotel have said that they would love to receive some articles in English about her life and work so that they can copy these and put them in the tourist information packs they put in the rooms.

Although they don't have time to put the information together themselves, they have included links to three web-sites to help you.

If you want to include some pictures, and maybe read more information, then this site is helpful too:-
