Nazca Lines
View Larger Map
The
Nazca Lines are
truly one of the world's unresolved mysteries. And
a flight over the Nazca lines is a fascinating experience. The Nazca Lines
were scratched on the surface of the ground between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500
and they were declared an "Archaeological World Heritage Site" by UNESCO
in 1994.
While several of the designs represent a variety of giant animals such
as a 180m-long lizard, a 90m-long monkey with an extravagantly curled tail
or a condor with a 130m wingspan. Most of the lines are simple but perfect
triangles, rectangles or straight lines running for several kilometers
across the desert, to be best observed by plane.
The lines, thousands of them in all, were made by the Nazca and Paracas
cultures by clearing darker rocks on the desert surface to expose lighter
soil underneath.
Scientists still debate why the lines were built. Some of their
theories are that they may have served as a calendar, a map of underground
water supplies or even as landing strips for alien spaceships.
The Nazca Lines are located on the Nazca Desert, a high arid plateau
that stretches between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the pampa (a large
flat area of southern Peru).
This desolate plain located on the Peruvian coast is made up of the
Pampas of San Jose (Jumana), Socos, El Ingenio and a few others in the
province of Nasca about 249 miles south of Lima, and 90 miles south of
Ica, in the department of Ica, covering an area of approximately 174
square miles. The Pan American Highway runs through part of the Nazca
Lines Area. This is made up of sandy desert as well as some of the slopes
of the Andes. They total about 300 figures looking like animals, straight
lines, and geometric shapes.
The markings upon the Nazca Plain are preserved due to it's dry
climate, and flat stony ground without sand; which minimizes the effect of
the wind at ground level. Thus, with no dust or sand to cover the plain,
and little rain or wind to erode it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn.
The small stones which cover the surface of the Nazca Plain contain
ferrous oxide. The weather exposure of centuries has given the stones on
the surface of the plain, a dark patina. When the small stones are moved
or removed, they contrast with the color underneath. In this way the lines
show as furrows of a lighter color in contrast to the dark patina of the
surrounding stones.
The flight over the Nazca lines is highly dependable upon the weather
conditions. The flights usely begin early in the morning when the weather
is nice. Cloudy or bad weather can result in a couple of hours delay. One
it clears again the flights resume.
Nazca is a relatively small town of about 30,000 people.
One of the best known researchers of the Nazca Lines was Maria Reiche;
a German mathematician and archaeologist. She believed the lines were an
Astronomical Calendar indicating the direction of stars, planets, and
solar solstices.
Reiche led a determined effort to discredit theories of
extraterrestrial visitors. She argued that the Nazca Indians constructed
the Lines some time between 300 BC and AD 800. In support of this
possibility, some scientists have put forward ingenious ideas on how the
geoglyphs could theoretically have been designed from the ground. One is
that they were supervised by observers in hot air ballons
Maria Reiche died in 1998 at the age of 95. She is now buried in the
arid valley which she loved so much.
On the pampa, south of the Nazca Lines, archaeologists have now
discovered the lost city of the line-builders, the Cahuachi. It was built
nearly two thousand years ago and was mysteriously abandoned 500 years
later.
They do fly overs from 07:00 to 16:30 hours (subject to weather
conditions).
Flights over the Nazca and Palpa
Lines take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
