About
Quick facts: Hundreds of huge geometric shapes and animal figures are visible only from above, which is a mystery how they were created without modern technology. Some lines reach up to 370 meters in length and their precision amazes both scientists and tourists.
Highlights: Giant drawings of animals and plants are so enormous that they can only be seen from a plane, giving the entire visit an adventurous touch. When flying over them, each line appears as a precise drawing that could not have been made by a person without a great deal of mystery.
Insider tips
- Dress comfortably and in layers because it can be chilly in the morning but warm during the day.
- The best photos are from the plane above the figures, book your aerial tour early.
- Avoid weekends and holidays when the crowds are largest.
- Do not expect to see the figures on foot, it is an experience from a bird's perspective.
