Nazca Lines

Spread across 500 sq km, the mysterious Nazca Lines form a network of lines, figures, animal and plant drawings. Nobody knows how they came to be although there are many theories including them being an alien landing site or the representation of a hallucinogenic shamen´s dream. The only way to see them is from the air, so we took a flight in a light aircraft and saw the most elaborate including a monkey, hummingbird, condor, spider and a figure known as the spaceman. Our stomachs managed to keep down breakfast even with the steep turns of the plane to spot the lines. Stephen even managed NOT to drop any camera gear out of the window!
