Nazca Lines, Peru - Full Flyover of the Mysterious Geoglyphs

Experience a complete aerial flyover of the Nazca / Nasca Lines in Peru. From high above the Nazca desert, spot the iconic geoglyphs as they take form beneath you, including the iconic hummingbird, monkey, spider, condor, astronaut and more.

The whole 30-minute flight is there in one-shot, sped up x10, and slowed down to x1 for the annotated highlights. Also the views from the watchtower for comparison, plus more info on the Nazca Lines and other sights in Nazca.

These massive ancient symbols, can only be fully appreciated from the air. We see some of the most famous of the 700 geoglyphs in the area, etched into the desert in two phases by the Paracas and Nazca civilisations, from around 500BC to 500AD. Their purpose is unknown, but many theories speculate they were used for astronomy, agricultural or religious ceremonies.
