The Nazca Lines in Nazca, Peru: Photo Gallery

June 2, 2017 No Comment Peru, South America

We arrived at the Nazca Lines in the morning for our flight.

The Nazca Airport is small, but busy.

Inside the Nazca Airport, there are a number of different flight options available.

There were a lot of flight vendors to choose from at the Nazca Airport. Our guide recommended one to us.

Lydian was nervous and rightly so. A number of tourists have been killed flying over the Nazca Lines. We hoped for the best.

Neither John nor Lydian had ever been up in a small prop plane before. Jennifer had.

Lydian’s job was to take some video footage of the flight.

There were lots of crazy-tight spins over the lines.

FUN FACT: The Nazca Lines are an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In 2008, 5 people were killed, in 2010, 11 people lost their lives, and in 2015, 6 people were injured doing a Nazca Lines flight, but our flight went smoothly. I like to believe that if we get killed doing something like seeing the Nazca Lines, we would’ve gotten killed that day anyway, even if we’d stayed in bed all day. (For example, I read about a man who was swallowed up by a sink hole in the middle of the night when the ground under his bedroom collapsed).
