Scholars, mathematicians, archaeologists and scientists have long deliberated over the origins of the Nazca Lines, but their true purpose and meaning lies lost in the midst of time. As your light aircraft soars high above the lines, the immensity of the Nazca lines becomes apparent. You’ll find it hard to believe that you are looking at desert geoglyphs created by an ancient civilization some 2,000 years ago. Monkeys, spiders, humming birds and fish are the most famous of the lines, but flowers, trees, human heads and even a spaceman feature in the ancient geoglyphs. Discover Peru’s Inca and pre-Inca cultures with this fantastic luxury Peru Vacation.
A vast, intricate plateau of giant birds, animals, plants and weird geometric patterns. Discover the enigma that is the Nazca Lines…

In the highlands of Peru there are two seasons, the wet season (November – April) and the dry season (May – October). High-season is from April – November and also Christmas and New Year. February and March are the quietest months and have the heaviest rainfall. The Inca Trail (if included) is closed for the month of February. The coast of Peru (including Paracas / Nazca) is dry and warm all year around. The months of December through until March see increased temperatures. This is a popular time to travel with tourists and locals alike, so booking early to ensure the best hotels is advised.
