OVERVIEW
NAZCA LINES OVERFLIGHT
In NAZCA LINES OVERFLIGHT, At around 8 am, we pick you up from either the bus terminal or your hotel in the town of Nazca. We take you to the 5-km far aerodrome. There, you receive a briefing by our Tour Guide, and you are given a map of the Nazca Lines for your better orientation during the flight. Afterward, you board a small airplane and our Pilot gives you a safety talk. So, the adventure might begin.
You see many geoglyphs carved into the surface of the Nazca desert 2 thousand years ago. These geoglyphs represent figures such as a spider, whale, condor, monkey, heron bird, hummingbird, parrot, dog, etc. There can be also found the so-called “astronaut” (or a fisherman) and hundreds of straight lines crisscrossing the desert. The lengths of these impressive figures range between 50 and 300 meters.
When the flight is over, you continue the trip toward the Trancas Valley, 28-km far from Nazca. You reach it at approximately 10 am while you start a tour around this ancient cemetery of the Chauchila Culture. There, you can observe various tombs belonging to family clans including adult bodies and remains of ceramics. You can also see some well-preserved long human braids hanging on the walls of this natural mausoleum. The strange fact about this is that they remind nowadays’ Rastaman style. Along the way, you find small circular graves of infants. At 12 pm, you return back to Nazca where we drop you off at either the bus terminal or your hotel. End of service.
