7 Fly Over the Nasca Lines – The Nasca Lines are
a series of ancient geoglyphs that dominate the San José desert and in
particular, the Nasca Valley. There are over 10,000 lines and 300
different plant and animal figures depicted. No one really knows how they got
there (maybe aliens?). Without a doubt the best way to view the lines is by a
helicopter or plane tour which costs around 415 PEN.

Grande is an archaeological site comprised of 50 pyramids and tombs, which are
thought to date back to between 100-1000 AD. This site was once the Sicán
capital and has had its fair share of impressive pre-Columbian artifacts
recovered over the years – for example, a gold Tumi weighing almost seven pounds
which was recovered from one of the royal tombs.
