The Mysterious Nazca Lines

Nazca lines are a series of drawings of animals, geometric figures, and birds up to 300 meters in size, scratched on to the arid crust of the desert and preserved for 2000 years owing to a complete lack of rain and unique winds that clean, but do not erase, the pampa (plain). The huge figures can only be seen from the air.
On the way to Nazca,
Pacific Ocean on the right

Where ocean and desert meet
We encountered sand storm on the way





Cessna plane – off we go to view the giant desert figures
