Nazca and the Lines – A Woozy, Dizzy Sight to Behold!
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 21 January 2011
After a two week Christmas break in South Africa it was time to get on the road again. After a brief stopover in Lima we caught the bus down to Nazca. Due to the immense difficulty in Peru of buying bus tickets, as each company has its own terminal, we decided to use one that [...]

In And Around Nazca
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 25 April 2010
Nazca town is, as previously mentioned, not an amazing place to be. Apart from being dusty and not very attractive, it’s also disproportionately expensive for Peru. Sigh, and everything, but I suppose it’s just the price you have to pay to be in close proximity to the Nazca Lines. However, if you’re going to be [...]

Sobrevuelo – The Flight Over The Nazca Lines
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 22 April 2010
Ignore anyone who, when asked what they thought of the flight over Peru’s Nazca lines, shrugs and pouts a bit, and says, with a dismissive toss of their heads, that it wasn’t such a big deal as they’d thought it would be. They’re talking absolute rubbish, and they’re the kind of people who didn’t find [...]

The Nazca Lines - Peru
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 22 April 2010
We took a bus from Ica and though it was a relatively short journey it was particularly tough for me.

I got through it with neither action necessary, but it was touch and go.

Warning: Peruvian bus driver may actually be Mario Andretti
Blog: Documentariously Challenged - 15 October 2009
Leaving Huaraz, we knew that we had to get moving to get to Cuzco. It was a long trip, but we knew it would be, so I suppose we were mentally prepared. But you can’t really prepare for something that long. We left Huaraz around 10pm and got into Lima around 6am, [...]

The Nazca Lines (and a very lucky escape)
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 12 September 2009
The last stops had brought some real ups (trekking in the Andes, sandboarding in Huacachina) and downs (the Islas Ballestas). Arriving in Nazca it seemed to me that the Nazca Lines could easily go either way, and I was in two minds as to whether to bother with flying over them or not. Eventually, I realised [...]
