Itinerary and highlights
After picking you up, we will go to The Nazca city to flight around the famous and enigmatic Nazca Lines. They are a group of very large geoglyphs hand formed/scratched out to make very strong depressions or shallow dirt removals in the dark soil of the Nazca Desert to reveal the very white under layer of rock or clay. These were carved out sometime between 200 AD and possibly 600 AD. There is no written record of the exact dates, but these seem to be a possible time frame. There is no a definitive reason for the carvings; however, numerous theories have been advanced: sculptures to be seen from the surrounding mountains, a big work project to worship they ancestors, or possibly a kind of message for their god so as to have water since the area is dry and it almost does not rain. You will watch the most representative figures such as the hummingbird, spider, monkey, geometrical forms and other mysterious forms.
Note: if you don't like long distance trips, consider another option.
Then, we will go to Huacachina to see its beautiful oasis which is the perfect destination for those travelers looking to relax surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. We will enjoy our day in the sand dunes desert and see the Huacachina Oasis!
