Concierge.com's insider take:
Traced on the floor of the Nazca Valley are at least 10,000 mysterious lines and 300 different figures. Created by members of the pre-Inca Nazca culture (300 B.C.–A.D. 700), perhaps as a giant astronomical calendar to help predict rain, the menagerie includes a parrot, a whale, and "the Astronaut," a strange humanoid with its hand raised. Some figures are 1,000 feet long, while others are 100 feet wide and stretch for six miles. The best way to see the Nazca Lines is by plane. Several local operators offer the stomach-churning ride for about $50, or you can opt for a round-trip day flight from Lima over the lines with Aero Condor (51-1-614-6014; aerocondor.com.pe; $365).
