El Loro, the Parrot, just one of the many Nazca Lines figures you see when you do a Nazca Lines over-flight from Pisco Airport.
Yes, you absolutely have to do this if you go to Peru. Non-negotiable. You have to do a Nazca Lines over-flight. Yes, the experience is somewhat underwhelming. You are far away from the actual lines, in a tiny airplane (12 passengers, if I remember correctly), that is banking at weird angles so the most number of people in the small plane can see the most number of figures. But it is the only way to experience these lines. And they have to be seen. You will be asking, "Why?" Then, "How?" Your questions will remain unanswered. Experts have theories, and some are better than others, but no one really knows for sure.
By the way, the ground is not brown like that. It's gray. But using a brown/sepia filter made the figure pop out much more clearly.
This is the original photo, uncropped:
The Parrot is much tougher to see. He is in the bottom left quadrant of the photo, but just off the center. In other words, top right corner of the bottom left quadrant, if that makes sense.
Visited April 2018.
