Nazca, Peru 🇵🇪

Today we have arranged a flight over the Nazca lines.  To do this we have a 2 hour transfer to Nazca airport and back.  When we arrive at the airport, it has been a morning of cloud so there is a backlog of people waiting to go up.  Our booking of 11am translates to a flight at 1pm with another company to ensure we can get back to Huacachina in time for our bus tonight to Lima.

It may have been a effort but it was worth it.  The whole landscape it impressive from our six seater plane, without even trying to figure out the lines and shapes on the ground.  It is amazing that they were crafted so accurately, the theory is that they were created for the gods as a prayer for water on this dry land.  The geoglyphs are fading and they have built the highway through the ‘lizard’, but still fabulous to see. 

It’s a short flight without any motion sickness, which is a relief for me.  Some of the group are suffering so it is a quieter bus back to Huacachina. Tonight we have 5hours back to Lima and are tucked up in our Miraflores hotel by midnight.
