Squatters raise pigs near Nazca lines

Squatters have started raising pigs on the site of Peru’s Nazca lines – the giant designs best seen from the air that were mysteriously etched into the desert more than 1,500 years ago. The squatters’ 50 shacks border Nazca figures, said Blanca Alva, a director at Peru’s culture ministry, said yesterday.

In Peru, it can take three years to evict squatters.
