Travel Blogs from Nasca, Peru
The Nauseating flight over Nazca
This is a top pick! Hello again, I think I am paying for it after the flight over Nazca lines, they were very dramatic but the ride was a nightmare nauseating experience.....just got off the small plane, still wanna puke...... ...
Pisco
This is a top pick! ... a lot of shacks and huts made out of items you would never think could create a home. On the bus ride from Lima to Peru we saw these massive cities that are simply a collection of roofless huts and shacks scattered in the sand. No streets, no stores, ...
Lines in the Peruvian desert
This is a top pick! Alex & Dean: On the trip from Ica to Nazca the desert changed from pretty sand dunes to the rocky flatlands that the Nazca lines are cut into. We passed over the lines (the Pan-Am highway actually cuts one of the images in two - the Lizard) but ...
Why did they do it?
This is a top pick! Why did the Nasca people do the large drawings on the floor of the dessert? We will never know for sure, so pick your teory: to mark underground water, to use as a start chart, for religious purpouses, to greet the gods, to greet ET... goes on ...
The effect of Drugs
This is a top pick! ... hours, without explanation, but finally take off, with three other passengers, in the small plane. We then proceed to see the Nasca lines - these are lines, depicting various shapes, drawn by a pre Inka civilisation, in the desert, on a large scale - ...
Astronauts and monkeys together again.
This is a top pick! ... people on my original plane got airsick during the flight. I´m thinking the smells of vomit would seriously detract from the Nasca experience. Anyhow it was great!!! We veered left and right over the geoglyphs, as the pilot allowed both sides of ...
Aliens from outer space
This is a top pick! One of the theories put forward for the mysterious lines in the desert near the city of Nazca, in Peru, is that they are beacons and landing strips for alien space craft. Theories like this certainly whet my appetite to see the famous Nazca lines, but I ...
poor mans g and nazca lines
This is a top pick! Pisco & Poor mans Galapagos The three of us bused it down the panamerican highway to Pisco and found a boat to take us out to what the lonely planet had dubbed the poor mans Galapagos island. For $10 we were speed boated out to an island in ...
Doing some lines.... The Nazca Lines that is !!!
This is a top pick! About 70 years ago, when the first flights started over Peru, pilots started reporting seeing mysterious shapes etched into the sun-baked desert floor near Nazca. What they were seeing were not only geometric forms and parallel lines but many different ...
Nazca - Day 101-102
This is a top pick! ... for my 7.30am departure to Nazca, an 8 hour bus journey through the coastal deserts and sand dunes of the southern half of Peru. This desolate landscape is a stark contrast to other environments I've seen in Peru so far. As soon as we left the city ...
Wind on my face, Sun in my Eyes ´n Sand in my Ears
This is a top pick! ... 't even OWN any stuff to worry about getting wet and is smiling ear to ear. On that note... Santa Cruz Trek - Huaraz, Peru Despite an inauspicious start, this trek rocked! Day 1 Sucked, basically. Set out super early, sick, and after a long, ...
The art of flying high without throwing up..
This is a top pick! ... bar staff. Tempting, very tempting! But time to get moving, so armed with optimism and toilet paper I boarded the nightbus to Nasca. Must admit I was a tad worried when the bus hostess announced that the onboard toilet was only for 'Number Ones' but 14 ...
A Line Runs Through It
This is a top pick! It was a 10 hour journey to Nazca, fairly short! I was delighted when we reached the coast and I saw the ocean for the first time in about 5 months, it was also a relief to finally leave the altitude of the Altiplano, it was interesting but I really was ...
So That's What the Plastic Bag is For!
This is a top pick! Along the Peruvian coast on the way to Lake Titicaca is Nazca. Not much to see here from the ground that is, it looks like another dusty town with sand and dirt and lots and lots of dry fields. It's what's in the dusty plains that draw so many ...
Nazca Lines
This is a top pick! ... held up by reciprocity and redistribution or, a map of underground water supplies. We took a flight over them from the town of Nasca. The flights are all in small aircraft, we were lucky to get a slightly larger than normal 12 seater. Its a half hour ...
¿Alien Space Port or Someone taking the Piss?
This is a top pick! 6 hour over night bus journey has taken me to Nazca in South Peru. I arrived at 4am and went straight to a hotel. After a couple of hours sleep I was up again and on an small plane over nazca. For those how haven´t heard of nazca, what draws people ...
Nasca puke lines
This is a top pick! this was planned as a must do way back many years ago.. i remember reading the warnings of motion sickness before i went up.. i have never been this close to vomiting without it actually coming up.. even as i write this later i feel nausous.. the lines ...
Hummingbirds and astronauts - A view from above
This is a top pick! I mentioned in previous blogs that we were back in Australia which was what we were waiting for to put these blogs up en masse. Alas, the pathetic process of procuring internet has put us back something like 6 weeks in our blog posts. A process that ...
Riding through sand
This is a top pick! ... Lines from the air. I’m not real fond of small planes so I declined. Lou also didn’t enjoy the experience altogether. The Nasca Lines were put down by the local indigenous people on the ground to try to get their gods to send rain. This ...
Sandboarding and Flying over Lines
This is a top pick! Another night bus - but brilliantly not next to a fat smelly traditional local!!! Fresh from the bus managed to get on an early scenic flight over the Nazca lines. Pretty cool sight, amazing to think what these people were doing all those years ...
Nazca - still no Paddington Bear??!
This is a top pick! Some pics to keep you entertained! Will update tomorrow as we have to eat and catch a bus at 11pm, and this is the slowest internet in the history of the internet! Hugs AlinMatt ...
In the middle of nowhere with dead people
This is a top pick! Well, in case the catacombs in Lima weren´t weird enough for you, we went to an ancient cemetery here outside of Nazca where mummies chill in open graves for tourists to see every day. And they still have their own hair. The cemetery at ...
Adventures in the Desert
This is a top pick! The main objective for our stopover in Lima - Peru's sprawling and somewhat dilapidated capital city - was to visit our son's godmother Zarela. As most of you know, Mike was conceived in Puno and born in Arequipa (more of that in a future TravelPod ...
Bad wine and dune boards...feliz año nuevo!
This is a top pick! ... wine-tasting - the green valley in which the otherwise uninteresting town of Ica nestles is pretty much the only wine-growing region in Peru. It´s also the home of Peru´s home-grown spirit, Pisco (the town Pisco, which we´d visited the day before, ...
Drawing the water from the sky
This is a top pick! ... in procession to ask for water. The lines become larger and more desperate during the big period of drought. Then the Nasca culture disappears. We ended up leaving at around 9:30. There were five of us plus the pilot and we had a ...
