• Nazca Lines

    March 20, 2009 in Peru

    After visiting Machu Picchu, I took an overnight bus (yet another) from Cusco to Nazca. It was a 14 hours journey, I arrived in Nazca around 8am the next day ✌🏼

    Then I went to a bus station, planning to take a bus to the airport for a flight over Nazca Lines. However, as most Peruvians didn't speak English back then, and smart phones weren't that common back then, I used drawing to communicate with the bus station staff 😁, pandai kan 🤣? Well it failed and didn't work out as she couldn't understand my drawings 🤣

    But luckily, there was a taxi driver standing by the fence calling out to me, he spoke English! He said he could bring me to the airport. Yes 😍!! However, as soon as I sat inside the taxi, I realized he was probably not a legal taxi driver, like one of those illegal one 霸王车 in Malaysia. I started to worry especially when he passed through woods. At that point, I even put my hand on the car lock so would jump off the car if needed 🤣But luckily, after a few minutes, we came out from the woods and passing through a plain grounds, phew😅 Thanks God!!

    After arriving the aiport, I took a plane and had a 30 minutes flight over the Nazca Lines 😁 So, what's my verdict on the trip? Well frankly, I think I probably didn't know how to appreciate the view of this UNESCO World Heritage site 😂

    Fyi.. Nazca Lines are known as geoglyphs – drawings on the ground made by removing rocks and earth to create a “negative” image. Scientists believe that the majority of lines were made by the Nasca people, who flourished from around A.D. 1 to 700 😱 But strange though, why would they made an image of an astronaut 1500 years ago? Or.. is that an image of an alien? 🤔
