Nazca Travel Guide

When you plan to visit Nazca lines ...don't forget that it's forbidden to walk alone in the desert without authorization and beeing with an official guide ...The best way to see everything there is to take a little plane flying upon the line ....not too expensive ...the other thing to do around Nazca is going into an orange Hacienda and taste there orange juices they're wonderfull and really cheap ! 

Nazca Lines are pretty amazing, not as big as you expect, but still amazing. Not too much to do in the touristy town of Nazca other than eat drink and souvenier shop, But you can go sandboarding on the nearby sand dunes. I think it is the Friendly Brothers or a name similar to that, they are in the guidebook and run good deals on both, and if you go with them they let you use the facilities of their hostel for the day. Especially good were you taking an overnight bus in and out. If possible, email them in advance because most flights depart early morning (maybe delayed if waiting for clouds to roll out.)

After you have seen the lines, the old irrigation system and the old cemetry (both a little outside the city) are really great but preferrable is to do them with a guide with can you explain a lot about them or the nasca lines too. Before taking a next bus, it can also be intresting to have a look at the plain prices from Nasca. For example a plain flight to arequipa was even less then a first class night bus towards it and saves you a lot of time and a rough night in a bus
