Had a two hour drive to Nasca this morning from Huacachina in a taxi of sorts, an older model american car with a diesel engine. Did a 30 minute flight over the Nasca lines, the air was clear and we had really good views of everything and thanks to Gravol no little baggies full. The worst part was staying awake after with the temperature past 30degC and the Gravol. Later in the afternoon we went to see a pre inca cemetary, more bones! Also checked out a artesinal miners refinery and a traditional pottery place.

Mercury is used by the artisinal miners to extract the gold, we learned all about mining the hard way.
