About Lima: Lima is the capital of Peru located on the arid Pacific coast of the country. Although its colonial center is preserved, it is an overflowing metropolis and one of the largest cities in South America. The Larco Museum houses a collection of pre-Columbian art and the Museum of the Nation traces the history of ancient civilizations in Peru. The Plaza de Armas and the 16th century cathedral are the core of the old center of Lima.
Nazca Lines: The Nazca Lines, in southern Peru, are a group of pre-Columbian geoglyphs that extend into the sands of the desert. They cover an area of almost 1,000 square kilometers and there are around 300 different figures, which include animals and plants. They are composed of more than 10,000 lines, some of them 30 meters wide and more than 9 kilometers long. It is easier to see the figures from the air or from nearby mountains.
About Arequipa: Arequipa is the capital of the colonial era of the Arequipa region of Peru. It is surrounded by 3 volcanoes and has baroque buildings built of sillar, a white volcanic stone. In its historical center, there is the Plaza de Armas, an imposing main square, and to the north of it is the Neoclassical Cathedral Basilica of the 17th century, which houses a museum exhibiting works of art and religious objects.

Probably, the most bizarre of all, is the figure of the Astronaut, a strange drawing with big eyes.
Unlike most of the figures, this human image was made on a hillside, maybe representing a god.

Take into account that the pilot will fly the plane in circles over each figure.
