Nasca

Yesterday I flew in Cessna six seater over the Nasca lines. It was amzing to see, although I was a bit dissapointed. I expected them to be much bigger! They were actually not that big. Anyhow really impressive. But what I actually liked the most was th e flight. In order to be able to show all twelve fugires to both sides of the plane the pilot had to make a lot of turn at about 200 - 300 foot. Woooohooooo. Since I was sitting shotgun I had a great view of the lines and the surrounding mountains and valley. Really awesome!

In the afternoon we went with a taxi to see the nearby aquaducts. Which are handmade and run mostly underground to prevent evaporation. We also some more Nasca lines from a hill top, as well as some Inca ruins and the museum filled with artefacts from a nearby Pyramid. The valley the Pyramid and town were situated floudded and the whole valley was covered by meters of mud. Burrying everything. A bit like Pompei. They are now slowly digging up the city and Pyramid.

Tonight I will take the bus to Arequipa from where we will go to the Colca Canyon.
