Flight over the Nazca lines

4 07 2008

Disappointment this morning. We were booked on the 06:30 flight but the mist came down. We had to wait around the hotel to be scrambled !!!!

At 10:30 we were given the all clear. Ben was unanimously voted to go in the front and sat there complete with video and microphone for the whole flight !!!

The Nazca lines are shapes in the ground which have been there for 2000 years and cannot be explained. Their creators could not have seen them from the air which makes them even more mysterious. There have been numerous theories as to what cause them from aliens to signs of the Zodiac.

The whole trip to use the Spanish phrase was phenominal !!! The view from the helicopter is simple amazing and it also gives you a fantastic idea of the general geography of the region as you pass through small hills and then see the absolute flat of the lines. Everything is dry and arid apart from the town of Nazca and where we stayed which is lush and green.
