Nasca Lines: By Land or Air?
We would like to see the Nasca Lines, either out of Lima or Cusco. We are on a budget. Is it really so much better to see them by plane? Also, I hear that by plane you need to do it very early in the

We went last April (2009). The lines were awesome from the air. Our pilot is the pilot you see and hear from on the program about Nazca that frequently airs on the National Geographic Channel. I  don't think it is possible to get the full effect of the lines from the ground. Our trip was arranged by Raj S at Alluring Americas. We booked thru American Express Platinum Travel, but you can book directly with Alluring Americas. If AMEX Platinum uses them you know they are reliable.
We spent two nights in Ica at a VERY nice resort and also toured the islands and saw the penguins.

Hello everyone,

Im new here. I just wrote a book about NASCA, Im from Peru and have studied Nasca and now I'm going to tell a story, as easy as possible about my research, from the first time I read the theory inspired by the “astrology – astronomy” enigma, started by Dr. Maria Reiche and Paul Kosok. After several months of research, not being completely satisfied with that hypothesis, a new second theory giving it a current topic, closest to a natural necessity, proposing  my ”theory of plate tectonics”, whose use is entirely feasible, but I did not found that it coincided with the anthropological reality of that time nor today.

It has become an unprecedented theory about natural resources management and hydraulics in the Andes, done by a pre-Inca culture 2500 years ago, called the Nasca Culture. Cabrejo has developed a theory on the use of the famous Nasca Lines. Follower of the work of Maria Reiche, he suggests that the lines represent some sort of complex giant hydraulic systems and structures that goes beyond religion and astronomy.

In this work I give a very workable solution to what the ancient pre-Inca Peruvian villagers belonging to the Nasca Culture did to manage the water at the “pampa”, located in the Province of Nasca, State of Ica on the surface of the driest coast of Peru. He believes that they gently and artistically handle the liquid element between rivers and transported to very long distances using only gravity and the natural slope on the plane, with an unprecedented climate change over 2000 years ago, similarly as to what is happening nowadays with the global warming and climate anomalies. I statein my book that this was done purely for hydraulic purposes in order to maintain subsistence farming, without underestimating the cosmic and religious affairs of that culture, using only the Andean geography, gravity, slope and a lot of imagination.

Here is my web page http://www.cabrejo.com free for you to browse partially.

Best regards and hope you enjoy
Luis
