Alien in Peru (The Nazca lines - a Unesco world heritage site)

The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. The largest figures are up to 1,200 ft (370 m) long. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

 

This figure is known as Astronauta/Astronaut. It's 38.21x16.35 m.

The cessna flight made me very motion sickness, but managed to get some pics :)

My trip is facing some problems. An earthquake badly destroyed a part of the only road to Arequipa (a 10-hour trip from Nazca). Will take days to repair it. Have to get back to Lima and fly from there - the hassles of travelling in the fire belt when you're unlucky :) I loose 2 days and have to cut my iternary somewhere.

 

I also need to visit a camera store in Arequipa, my lovely Sirui carbon has been lost.
