找得我好辛苦

Ein geheimnisvoller Ort. Hier regnet es so gut wie nie. Maria Reiche fand raus dass sie ein riesiger Astronomischer Kalender seien mit den sie mit Ihren Göttern kommunizierten. Diese Linien wurden erst 1927 entdeckt. Wahnsinn.

This is a cool historical site surrounded by sea of police corruption. We were there in December and five (5) police shakedowns later, my son and I made it from the Nazca desert back to Lima. Our strategies included dividing up the $100 dollars the Hilton gave us on credit (after the police stole all of our money a day earlier). We divided the $ and hid it in various locations in the car. Each time I would reload my wallet with only $20 dollars. Each time the Peru Police pulled us over and demanded money for not having a fire extinguisher in the car, for having the lights on, for NOT having the lights on...they just pulled out their little book of violations and pointed to a violation and demanded payment on the spot. Each time my wallet only had $20 and we said that was all we had and we would be happy to pay by credit card (which of course they could not take...). We kept our original passports hidden and just used the copies of our documents that the Hilton made for us. We would say that "the police already kept our original documents and we don't have them anymore and are going to the American Consulate in Lima to ask for them to be replaced." One group of police actually let us go with no payment at all...so that was positive.... I've been to 84 countries. This is the most corrupt place that I have ever seen. Sometimes the traffic fines come with death threats. Seeing the lines by aircraft was interesting but not worth the price of all the police terrorism to get down there from Lima.

Genial. Están muy lejos de todo. Hay que ir en avioneta. Es incómodo y caro... pero es algo único en el mundo. Ir una vez está bien siempre que leas algo sobre las líneas su origen y las teorías sobre sus creadores o de lo contrario no te merece la pena ir. Está bien combinarlo con el parque de Paracas.

I left this till last on my trip and will have to say if you want to see them properly do what I did and book a flight over them in a small plane it doesn't cost much and you will see them much better. Absolutely amazing to see and learn what they believe also visit the graves that are out in the nasca desert worth while seeing and again very educational Such an advanced culture from before the Incas. Seems like we have gone backwards rather than forwards.
