The next day Liz had to head home but we stayed in Cuzco for the day and then took an overnight (15hour!! bus ride to Nazca. I think Nazca was the least exciting thing on our trip but I expected that so it was ok. We didn't take a plane tour because they're a bit expensive and have questionable safety regulations- instead we just took a bus ride out to the lookout tower....which we missed because it was so unimpressive and then had to walk back to it about a 1/4 mile along the Pan Americana which was a pretty funny site. We saw 2 of the figures, the "hands (the one in the picture)" and the "tree" and we saw part of the lizard which they built the Pan Americana right through! Seeing the lines took about 5 minutes but then we had to wait on the side of the road for about an hour until another bus picked us up haha. After we got back to the town of Nazca we took a bus to Huacachina where we went sand surfing- awesome- and stayed the evening.
The town was cute, there was a lake surrounded by palm trees in the middle.
The next day we headed to Lima, got a tour of the down town and had the most amazing seafood meal everrrrr- at what was apparently the most expensive restaurant in Lima, which out taxi driver told us as we got out of the car to go into the restaurant!! The next day Coury and Drea left early and the rest of us just killed time, walked by the beach and then headed out that night. Pretty hard to imagine that we were able to work out such an incredible trip with 7 of our best friends but it was truely a trip of a life time!!
