For those who like enigmas, the Nazca lines and geoglyphs are one of the most attractive destinations in Peru: enormous lines anf figures made a long time ago in the dry desert.
The very able pilot then gave us an unforgettable half hour of exploring the Nazca lines from the sky. Flying so low we could easily recognize the figures below us, we saw gigantic figures of animals, a tree, lines, triangles, and an astronaut. Some of the figures are simple, but some are quite elaborate. The pilot made sure to fly his plane almost vertically to give us the best possible view. The early morning light on this clear October morning was perfect to appreciate these enigmatic lines and figures. We were all glued to our windows, looking in awe at the unique view below us: geoglyphs made in this arid desert some 2000 years ago. Later that day, we visited the observation tower and a hill close by, and had a closer look at the two figures seen from here: the Hand and the Tree. Here, it was obvious how the figures are made: by selectively removing the top layer of loose stones, the lighter coloured soil becomes visible.
