Finally! Tomorrow we're off to Lima, the capital city. We arrive at 4:20 in the morning on Friday and we'll spend the day exploring Lima. I can't wait to get my hands on some ceviche, which is a local delicacy.
On Saturday, we're going to the Nazca Lines:
"There are over seventy animal, insect, and human figures in the desert. The area encompassing the lines is nearly 200 square miles, and the largest figures can be nearly 900 feet long. The lines persist due to the extremely dry, windless, and constant climate of the Nazca region: the Nazca desert is one of the driest on Earth and maintains a temperature around 25°C (77°F) year round, and the lack of wind has helped keep the lines uncovered to the present day."
At some point, we're going to hop in a small plane and fly over the lines to get a great view of them. Their size makes them difficult to see otherwise. Since the Nazca people could never have seen their work from this altitude, it's still a mystery why the Nazcans created these enormous lines in the desert.
