The mysterious Nazca Lines! You’ll board a small aircraft. During your adventure, you’ll see first hand several famous line figures, including the spider, monkey, astronaut, flamingo, parrot & condor among many others. Why were these figures created? Do they have an astrological or religious purposes. Be relaxed and let yourself captivate by this incredible heritage of our past overflying the Nazca Lines with one of the best planes providing the best comfort and security. Includes a flight over the most representative geoglyphs.
The lines, some over 2,000 years old, have blown away historians and archaeologists for hundreds of years, and even today there is no uniform agreement as to how or why they were created. Spread over almost 80 km of desert a flight over the Nazca Lines is the only way to do justice to these incredible landmarks.
Departing from the Maria Reiche Aerodrome in Nazca. The flight takes 30 minutes and you could admire 12 enigmatic figures.
In the afternoon visit Chauchilla Cemetery located 30 km (18.6 miles) south of the city of Nasca in Peru. It is the only archaeological site in Peru, in which ancient mummies are seen in their original graves. This cemetery had been used for a period of anywhere between the 3rd and 9th century, but the most important burials belong to 600 – 700. The bodies are remarkably preserved due mainly to the dry climate in the desert but the funeral rites were also a contributing factor. The bodies were clothed in embroidered cotton and then painted with a resin. The resin is thought to have slowed bacteria trying to feed on the bodies.
The cemetery was discovered in the 1920s, but was officially recognized as an archaeological monument and protected only since 1997. For many years the Chauchilla Cemetery was looted by treasure hunters, who destroyed the place completely, taking away all the treasures the mummies kept in their tombs for centuries.
In the evening we transfer you to the busterminal, where you can take the bus to Arequipa or Lima
