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 here is the weird lines, objects and animals across miles of desert were only seen for the first time in 1939 and since then a whole civilization has been found. Whats weird is that the lines can only be seen from above and planes didnt exist in 900BC. So what are the lines for? Who knows!!
Some say giant race tracks, ritual walk ways or even alien landing sites. The best explanation is that they were irrigation systems, as the nazca people dug deep wells and channels that are still used today.
Some of the lines were quite hard to see, such as the monkey. But the biggest, a large condor could easily be seen for miles around. The plane ride was an experience in itself, a dustbin with wings, superb....an irish girl in the back was throwing up. I paid a little extra to sit with the pilot. An expensive trip but well worth the de niro. Another overnight bus tonight to Arequipa.
