This is the entrance to the Nazca Lines Hotel. It truly is an oasis in this small desert town. The sign announces the showtimes for the on-site Planetarium in one of the courtyards. The program at the planetarium was wonderful and having the planetarium within the Hotel Grounds made it most convenient.

There is also a high powered telescope on the premises. After exiting the Planetarium we were treated to some star gazing through the telescope. The night sky in Nazca was exceptionally clear that night and we had marvelous views of Saturn and its rings as well as Jupitor, its raging storm and three of its moons.
