Pisco and Nazca Lines, Peru

We had an early start today at 7:30 am
and got on the road with our guide Omar and driver to take a long drive to Pisco. Pisco is a coastal city about a four hour drive from Lima and known for being the site where the Pisco liquor was invented. It’s also well known for being a take off point for trips to fly over the Nazca Lines. In 2023, we were booked to fly over the lines but civil unrest ruined those plans. We were excited to finally get to see these incredible creations.

The drive there was through a desert landscape with mountains, sporadic green patches and stretches of squatter houses. It’s a landscape quite unlike any we’d seen before. We had time to stop on the coast in Pisco for a walk along the waterfront before heading to the airport to board a small plane to fly over the Lines. What a sight!

Brad and I managed to capture some images but they just can’t capture how spectacular it is to see them.

We had a late lunch at a coastal resort with our guide and got back on the road for the long drive back to Lima.

So worth the effort.Read more
