Finally managed to leave Huacachina and drag ourselves to Nazca, famous for lines in the earth that have been there for 500years, without any care required to keep them there. They were lost until about 1920, which is why a main road has been built through some of them.
Unfortunately a plane trip to see the lines is very expensive (and the ssafety rate is laughable) so we opted for the rather cheaper option of taking a taxi and going to a viewing tower. These lines are miles long and completely straight, blows your mind how they could do that. Their exact meaning isnt known but 2 represent the start of the winter and summer soltice, so point directly to the sun.
There are also 120 massive images of animals, people and plants. There are many theories of how they got the images so perfect 2 of them being our favourite: the first being that condors lifted the architects up into the air to direct people, and the other being that they were the first to have hot air baloons!
