Description
Explore Peru's enigmatic Nazca Lines from the sky: ancient geoglyphs like The Spider and The Hummingbird, visible only from above.
The Nazca Line, etched into the desert, span a wide range of sizes and seem to rise and fade into the landscape with no clear beginning or end. Created by the Nazca people, these intricate designs took advantage of the region's unique meteorological and geological conditions. With exceptionally low rainfall (only half an hour every two years) and mineral-rich soil, a thin dark crust forms over the lighter-colored subsoil when it is disturbed, creating strong contrasts visible only from high altitudes. To fully appreciate these expansive figures, such as La Araña, El Mono, El Perro, El Lagarto, El Colibrí and El Cóndor, one must embark on a light aircraft excursion. These figures, ranging in size from 15 to 300 meters and reaching depths of approximately 30 centimeters, represent a remarkable feat of ancient engineering and artistic expression, preserved for millennia in the Nazca desert of Peru.
