Nasca or Nazca?

Four hours south of Paracas, Peru is a town called Nasca or Nazca. Either way, surrounding this town is an area wrapped in mystery. Some say the aliens did it. Most think the ancient Inca's were the ones to make these huge designs dug into the earth called the Nazca Lines.







These lines were only noticed by a farmer not that many years ago. He happened to notice them when he was up on a nearby hill. He hired a plane to see it from above and found out that there were many of these huge designs all over the area. Some measuring up to 300 meters long.






The plane we took swooped over these pictures showing us all the angles. We all felt a bit nauseous for 35 minutes. We were all happy to feel the ground beneath our feet again when we were done.
