Nasca Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We head from Ica for a 2 hour drive south to Nasca and take 35 minute a flight over the Nasca Lines. These lines drawn into the earth are apparently still a mystery but Maria Reiche spent over 50 years studying the lines and came to the conclusion that they are an astronomical chart.

There are 800 lines and 70 animal and plant drawings. ...

Departed Lima in the rush hour, our conclusions are – Debbie indifferent about Lima, Sven reaching a view that he quite likes the place – it's a yet another very heavy overcast day we wonder if Lima ever sees the sunshine!

We’re travelling south and the drive down was a complete surprise, Beyond the beaches which are pop...

Da uns die direkte Busfahrt von Lima nach Cusco zu den bekannten Inkaruinen (Machu Pichu) mit ca. 20 h doch etwas zu lang war, entschlossen wir uns einen Zwischenstopp in Nasca zu machen, um uns einer noch deutlich älteren Kultur zu widmen. Nasca ist eine sehr kleine (35.000 Einwohner), zumindest in unseren Augen, typische Wüstenstadt in der es ...

Hiya everyone! Sorry this entry is so late, i have been doing a lot recently and have not had much internet access. Nasca is a small desert town on the coast, south of Pisco, which is the home of the ancient and mysterious Nazca Lines. These are huge figures which were drawn into the sand of the desert, depicting mainly animals, the most famous ...

Jour 5 - Nasca

Journée bien remplie à Nasca: nous survolons les fameuses lignes en avant-midi puis nous nous rendons au cimetière de Chaucilla, résidence permanente de plusieurs momies de l'époque Nasca (entre 300 av. J.-C. et 800 après J.-C.). Nous visitons également un atelier de céramique et un centre d'extraction de l'or.

Nous arrivons a Nazca vers 6h du matin et nous sommes des la sortie du bus assaillis. Nous choisissons une agence qui nous offre en plus le petit dejeuner. Vers 8h nous partons pour l'aeroport pour survoler les fameuses lignes de Nazca. Decouvertes en 1939 par Paul Kosok, on en denombre aujourd'hui plus de 10.000, majoritairement des lignes et d...

Nasca was just a town in the middle of nowhere until commercial airlines started flying across the desert about 50 years ago. People began reporting strange figures that could be seen from the air. Hence the discovery of the Nasca Lines. Spread across 500 sq. km of desert are a complicated network of over 800 lines, 300 goemetric figures, and so...

On the last day of our tour, I decided to make a short trip to Nasca, as I have always wanted to see the Nasca lines. I was slightly concerned that this meant missing out on the city tour of Lima, but after 2 hours of arriving in Lima, I decided that I didn´t like the city and that I was better off leaving this city and seeing the Nasca lines. O...

Nasca is a desert full of lines and drawings etched in the sand dating from 900 BC. The lines and drawings of spiders, trees, monkeys and birds are vast, some of which span out over many kilometres. Apparantly three different groups constructeded them probably to monitor seasons, but really who knows! We saw them from a viewing platform, rather ...

Fiona The point of our visit to Nasca was to take a flight over the Nasca Lines, a series of enormous line drawings of various things, from hummingbirds to monkeys and spiders in the Nasca Desert. The area encompassing the lines is nearly 200 square miles and the largest figures are nearly 900 feet. There is no clear evidence as to why the lines...
