The Plains of Nazca - 2-Day Extension

These enormous carvings in the desert are a three-hour drive south of Lima. Immense, mile-long geometric designs, stylized birds, spiders and monkeys constructed by an ancient civilization, sprawl across the desert floor and have been the source of speculation for centuries. EcoAdventures' motorcoach trip reveals the desert countryside south of Lima, provides a comfortable hotel for the night, and includes a 45-minute flight over the drawings via light aircraft. (For size reference, note the motorcoach at the top left of the photo below, left.)
