Good morning from Nasca we are still in the hotel and we just had our breakfast well
yesterday actually we went out on the Peru Hop bus and looked at the Nazca
lines we saw two or three of them and we stopped him from a tower which was quite
high but it actually didn't give us quite the view we wanted our last night
we decided we're gonna do something a little bit different we are currently
waiting for the Aeronasca to pick us up because we're gonna do something
really cool today yeah we're gonna go flying yes throw it up in a plane we
figured that you know if you can see it from a tower you can see it much better
from an airplane so that's what we're gonna do today
we're okay with a little bit of a wrench in our plans this morning they picked us
up at 10 o'clock at the hotel they brought us all the way here and then
they told us that all of the flights have been delayed by about three hours
why they couldn't tell us that because they've known this for a couple of hours
now well the visibility was bad this morning
so everything kind of pushed back about two or three hours and I completely
understand obviously you don't want to take people up it happens so anyway so I
think we are switching our plans around what have to be flexible and we're gonna
do a excursion this morning so we're just switching we're gonna go from
morning to the cemetery and then afternoon to the flight which is totally
fine a day in Nazca a day in South America we have seen these things all
over relatively easy to do once your first bite refreshing very tart really
yeah but the good though that's wet it's actually we're like
we made it to Chauchilla cemetery and now we're going over to take a look it's
beautiful out here the weather is really super clear I was
able to charge my camera in the car because I forgot to bring an extra
battery and how beautiful is this it's a native cotton plant here in the Nazca
region and it's actually brown color instead of white
2,000 year old llama poop - guinea pig poop and they're all over here
fascinating because the Inca people were fishermen
fishermen magicians and engineer because these people were made the
internal channels like this to bring the water from the Highland that's why in
these valleys we really go I became here a special place for sure of the Chauchilla
God what I can do yeah we won't remember part we won't remember most of it but in
front of us there's actually a part of the nd said it's very colorful that's my
favorite name yeah it's what they used to make the paint too they went up into
the mountains and took a lot of these minerals that are carved in different
colors and they may paid out of it and they painted bodies and they just did
everything with it yeah and we pass a big sand dunes that actually higher than
Huacachina and our guide actually said every year
that's kind of grows like three centimeters higher it keeps growing and
he's practicing sand boarding on one of the cliffs and he said that the height is
about 600 meters that is pretty high that's why in these valleys we have more
than 215 the annual challenge my opinion thing about these mummies is that after
a while they kind of all start to look the same so the first you were kind of
cool but just after a while it sort of looks like the same thing over and over
again so we're just gonna keep walking through
Chauchilla cemetery is one of the most sacred cemetery in this area they have
about 2,000 bones here and a lot of grave robbers unfortunately but the one
that preserve here are pretty unique because everything is so well preserved
you can see all the bones you can see some skin and the hair and some of the
clothes now we're just gonna head back to the airport and gonna continue on
with our journey in Nazca we're gonna sing some Nasca songs here and we are
back at the airport again and this time hopefully we'll be able to fly over as
planned the weather is good so supposed to be pretty clear and we're looking
forward to it it's such a tiny Airport but they have ten different airlines so
far that I counted
a lot of different airlines is flying over task alights so after waiting an
extra four hours for this flight we're finally on it no fault of the airlines
they can't control the weather and it was a little overcast today and arrow
Nazca is going to take us up over the Nazca lines Paul it's just gone to pay
the airport tax and then we're gonna get on the plane none of us had paid the
vortex which is 30 so lists right there I knew specific but I just didn't know
where to go it's nobody asked for it
so we are going with Aaron Oscar right yeah and that is company that we booked
through Peru hop think it was $80 each plus 30 soles for the airport tax it's
so easy to book all you have to do is just go to the approve website and you
can scroll through and find the the Nazca lines extension and just put your
trip
what do you think of that this is probably the smallest plaintiff ever
built so I was a bit nervous but it's actually pretty cool yeah this was
actually quite nice what's your biggest surprise my biggest surprise is how tiny
they are yeah I think I had the impression that these things were
massive from above 200 meters up near this you know tiny and I think he said
64 meters a 64 meters up and it's tiny and you recognize some of them like the
spiders the monkeys the whale totally worth it dish out the $80 don't be
cheap do it it's totally worth it
yep today we are at crap oh it's here hola
what you got inca kola full of sugar for Halef coca-cola sin azucar for me
