Nazca

22-June.

After Huacachina, I went to Nazca, which was only a few hours away. From there you can take a 30 minute flight to see the Nazca Lines. The Nazca Lines are geoglyphs located in the Nazca desert that can only be viewed from the sky. It is believed to have been made between 200 BCE and 600 CE. Dark red surface stones and soil have been cleared away, exposing the lighter-colored subsoil, creating the "lines".

There are different theories as to why the lines were created. "The geometric ones could indicate the flow of water or be connected to rituals to summon water. The spiders, birds, and plants could be fertility symbols. Other possible explanations include: irrigation schemes, giant astronomical calendars, or landing for spaceships."

In the flight we saw a whale, trapezoids, an astronaut, a dog, a monkey, hands, a condor, a humming bird, a heron bird, a tree, a spider, and a parrot. Unfortunately my pictures didn´t turn out so great. But here are the ones that came out decent.
