Nazca Travel Blogs

Today on our agenda: a flight over the Nazca Lines. The (actually the only) way to see, watch this mysterious lines. We went to the airport of Nazca. We booked our flight in advance (paid US dollar 75) for a flight of about 40 minutes (for more information: www.alasperuanas.com).   ‘Our…

Sky & I arrived to Nazca last night, after a long bus drive... We left Lima around 3:30pm and were at the hostel around 10:30pm. We were tired and just wanted to have something to drink and sleep. Our adventure started on Friday morning. We weren't 100% sure about what to do in Nazca. The onl…

Today we were to take a flight over the Nazca Lines and then board the 1pm bus back to Lima.  We had a 9:00 reservation for our flight over the desert.  Upon arrival at the Nazca airport, we were informed that the Lima air controllers had closed the Nazca airport due to "conditions". …

after not being able to do the nazca lines flight i was quite eager to do the ancient pre-inka cemetery tour near nazca so that not the whole day was "lost" on sitting by the pool afraid of the sun i prepared myself with many litres of water in my hands and sun protection on my nose... but it wasn…

Ever since I read about the Nasca Lines as a kid I've been intrigued by the mystery behind them. No matter the reason of how and why they were done is that they still exist to this day as seen through my eyes very distinctly. As excited as I was to finally see the lines it all ended abruptly as soo…

From Ica I took the bus to Nazca, when arriving there it was already dark and I took a taxi to a nice hotel. It was a bit further out of town. When waiting on the bus I met a argenita guy and two american. We were talking about our roundtrip through Peru. As it was time to hop on the bus it appeare…

The main reason for visiting Nazca is to check out the world-famous and little understood Nazca lines and the only way to really see them is to go up in a light plane.  The lines were created by the Nazca and Paracas cultures from around 900BC to 600AD by removing a layer of sun-scorched stone…

I joined my Budget Expeditions truck tour on August 18.  I have to call it a truck because Steve, the Aussie driver, charges you a beer if you call it a bus.  There are 33 of us onboard.  The mix is about 50/50 Aussies´s and Brits, a couple Irish, one Kiwi, and me.  I am repres…

  We arrived in Nazca late yesterday PM and went directly to our motel on the outskirts of town.  Turned out that it was one of the two nicest places we stayed, not that anyplace was bad.  Once again do not remember the name but I do have pictures.  Had a very unusual meal cooke…

Being strapped into a 6 seater prop plane, smaller than most cars, definitely gets the adrenalin flowing. But making breakneck turns left and right in order that everyone gets a really good look at the ground is positively heart-attack inducing.  There is, however, a good r…

Our departure time from the hotel of just after 8 in the morning meant that we could sleep in. Today we continue our drive across the desert, and once again we set off thought mist and rain. The mist is not too thick to keep us from making the odd photostop in a rocky part of the desert, where we s…

Nazca LinesKristi and I booked our Nazca lines flight the night before through the owner of our hotel.  She said that the flight could leave as early as 7:30 or as late as 9:00 am depending on the weather.  So, we were downstairs raring to see some giant shapes in the sand at 7:20 am.&nbs…

I actually don´t quite know where to begin.  Nazca is in the heart of the dessert in Peru, a pretty small town but home to the famous Nazca lines.  In order to properly see them you need to take a flight over the lines, so that´s what i did.  The plane itself holds 6 people includi…

We were picked up early (yes... early!) for our flight over the Nazca lines. We watched most of a documentry on the lines until we were interrupted to be told that the people who had booked on the flight with us were now not turning up for another 2 hours or more. We had the option of paying more a…
