NAZCA (PERU)











We thought we were lucky finding a bus company in Cuzco for a half price fare to Nazca but the supposedly 12h journey ended up to be 24h and a completely waste of a day.

In Nazca we took a small aeroplane to see the famous lines from above. Cut into stony dessert there are large designs of various animals and geometrical figures. Its thought they have been created between 200 BC and 600 AD.

Nazca is also known for Cerro Blanco, the highest sand dune in the world. With our boards we hiked uphill for 3h to reach the highest point of 2078m. We then more fell then boarded downhill. It was fun even that by the end sand were stuck in every little pore of us.
