Aerial Tour of Nazca Lines (1 ½ hours) |
|
|
See geometric etchings on the desert floor on this flight tour over the Nazca Lines in Peru
| Overview | |
|
The Nazca Lines in the Nazca desert, situated about two hours from Ica in Peru, are truly one of the world's unresolved mysteries. And one of the best ways to truly appreciate these fascinating signatures of an ancient civilization is from high above the sky. The Nazca Lines were declared an Archaeological World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. Discovered in 1901 by Max Ulhe, a Peruvian archaeologist, the Nazca Lines are the most extraordinary legacy left by a culture that flourished in 500 BC. The lines are a series of complex designs, some up to 300 meters long which can only be seen in their true dimension from the sky, from an altitude of at least 1,500 feet. The Nazca culture is not believed to have been capable of manned flight. But the question remains as to how they crafted the drawings, what technology they used and what purpose the lines served. With virtually no insight into this mysterious civilization, the stylized form of the Nazca Lines will fuel your imagination and set you thinking about Peru's history and ancient civilizations.
