Nazca
March 5, 2020 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Weiter gings zu den bekannten Nazca- Linien nahe des gleichnamigen Ortes.
(Lisa dachte übrigens, dass die in den USA sind, wegen Nascar-Race und so 😂🙈)

Seit über 2000 Jahren bestehen diese von den Indigenen der Nazcar geschaffenen Bilder und teilweise bis 20km lange kerzengerade grafische Linien.
Sie haben mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit eine religiöse Bedeutung und wurden für z.B. Opfer- und Fruchtbarkeitsrituale genutzt, doch so ganz genau weiß es niemand.
Außerdem könnten sie als eine Art Kompass gedient haben und es bestehen wohl auch Zusammenhänge mit der Sommer-/Wintersonnenwende.
Diverse Verschwörungstheorien sehen es allerdings als erwiesen an, dass diese Präzision nur durch Außerirdische entstanden sein kann.
Vielleicht ist es einfach eine Mischung aus Beidem 🧐
Aufgrund der Trocken- und Bodenbeschaffenheit sind die Nazca- Linien so gut erhalten geblieben und gelten nicht umsonst als UNESCO- Weltkulturerbe.

Um das ganze besser sehen zu können, empfiehlt sich ein Flug.
Gesagt, getan.
In dem kleinen Flugzeug haben insgesamt 6 Passagiere Platz, jeder hat also einen Fensterplatz. Um nun zu garantieren, dass auch jeder die verschiedenen Bilder sehen kann, wendet der Flieger also ziemlich oft um nochmal mit der anderen Seite drüber zu fliegen.
Klingt harmlos, wir waren allerdings froh, nach ca. 30min wieder festen Boden unter den Füßen zu haben 🤢🙈Read more

Nasca-Lines flight+ beautiful huacachina
March 16, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
What an amazing, exciting, beautiful and really fucking nice day!!

Today I woke up to take my plane flight over the Nasca lines! There I met Yuki from Japan, living in NY. It was my first plane flight with this size and I really enjoyed it! Only the first 2-3 curves my stomach noticed something 😂

I was so impressed, in which big area the Nasca lines are and how detailed they looked from above. Also flying for the first time, I super enjoyed it! Every figure had also a specific meaning to the nascas and the biggest one is 300m big. Spider, condor, astronaut,… super good!

They also drove us above water springs from the Nasca time and over an Inca temple.

After a 40 min flight I got back to the hostel and went to lunch. Then I wanted to take a collectivo, but I heard that at the time that the roads to Ica are on 3 streets overflowed. Shit. But I got one collectivo for 12€🤦🏼‍♂️ which drove me. At the end I arrived after 5h of drive & one challenging drive over very muddy streets. Then I took a taxi to huacachina and checked in.

Huacachina is a small touristic place, where you can chill, Party or to Biggy tours and sanboarding.

The desert with the sand hills looking amazing. Wow! During the way up to watch the sunset I met Dor from Israel. We watched together the sunset and went together for pizza dinner.

Because we were tired we went earlier to bed.

So with the Nasca lines, the exciting drive (also to think not to end in huacachina) and the very stunning viewRead more

Lineas de Nazca
October 2, 2016 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
The 2000 years old Nazca Lines are very famous and it is still not known who and why they are created. They are spread over 80km in the desert and to see all of them it is necessary to taka a plane. We didn't want to spend that much money so we decided to take just a quick overlook on a little tower, where we could see at least 3 of them: a tree, hands and indications of a lizard.Read more
