one of my other roadtrips was an all-day excursion to nazca to see the mysterious nazca lines. it was quite hard to take any good pictures from my phone while flying above, but there were a few where you can see some of the lines. no one knows why they were drawn in the sand since no one except for those flying above could make them out. it wasn't until someone flew over them 50 or 60 years ago that they were even known to be there. i have a couple books and photobooks which should help give more information and sights than the photos i've tried to take and post below. if you click on the photos you can see them larger and try to make out some of the lines and shapes. there were some really cool lines that look like a monkey and a spider and such, but i'm not sure i got great photos myself. you can read more about the nazca lines from the websites i mentioned before.


this one you can sort of see what they call 'the astronaut' in the side of the mountain

here's a look at the plane i was in for the 30-minute trip over the nasca lines. it was a 6-person seater and i was up in front next to the pilot, hence the photo of the mechanics of the plane

this was the bus i rode for 7 hours to nasca and 7 hours back:
