Nazca Lines sightseeing flight.

The Experience

Nazca Lines Sightseeing Flight
In an area of ​​350 square kilometers north of the city of Nazca, mysterious stripes made of sand can be found. In addition, there are various figures of animals, such as the spider, the monkey, the dog, the lizard, the hummingbird and the condor. It is still not known exactly why the pre-Inca culture Nazca made these lines and figures in the dry sand. With a small plane it is possible to make a flight over these lines and figures from the town of Nazca.

Origin of the Nazca Lines
The dry plain around Nazca is one of the driest areas on earth. There is hardly any rain in this desert area, so the lines and figures have been preserved for thousands of years. The Nazca lines were probably created between 200 BC and 900 AD by the Nazcas, the population group that inhabited the area at that time. Because the Nazca lines and figures can only be seen from the air, they were only rediscovered relatively recently. Around 1920, mathematician Maria Reiche, among others, started researching the lines.

There are several theories about why the Nazcas created the lines and figures. However, definitive proof of the purpose and how the lines and figures were created has never been found. Since 1994, the Nazca Lines have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
