On the way it is possible to appreciate the famous Candlestick that is considered as the origing of Nazca lines, rocky formations that are the lodging from an important marine fauna like Guaneras birds as the guanay, the piquero, the zarcillo among others, as well as some Peruvian Penguins in danger of extinction. We will also see several of the two sea lions species (the big ones and the small ones) among other local fauna.

After a short rest, we start our approximately one hour journey to Ica.

Then we will return then to the aerodrome to begin our trip from Ica to Nazca and fly over the enigmatic lines, mysterious marks on the sand spreaded over a 350 km2 area. These lines show several animals and plants like the spider, the monkey, the dog, the lizard, the humming bird, the condor and so on, in a dimension that range 15 to 300 meters each one and with a 30 centimeter deep approximately.
