This is the trip for travelers who want to see the Nazca Lines from the air and are happy to spend most of two days on the road to do it. You get the coast and the dunes on the first day, sleep in Nazca, fly over the lines the next morning and ride the bus back to Lima. If you would rather trade road hours for money, the version with the flight from Pisco sleeps in Paracas and gets you back to Lima by the afternoon.
Pickup is before 5 a.m. so you reach Paracas for the morning boat around the Ballestas Islands, about two hours among sea lions and seabirds. A pisco winery near Ica comes next, then the buggy and the dunes at Huacachina. In the late afternoon the van continues south to Nazca, about 2.5 hours more.
The Nazca Lines are hundreds of figures and straight lines scraped into the desert floor between about 500 BC and 500 AD, and you only understand them from above. The small plane banks left and right over each figure, the hummingbird, the monkey, the spider, so both sides of the cabin get a view. It is a bumpy flight. Eat a light breakfast, and look at the horizon between figures.
The ride home is a regular bus that leaves Nazca around 2 p.m. and reaches Lima near 11 p.m. Nine hours in a bus seat is the price of the Nazca airfield. We think it is worth it once, if the lines are high on your list.
One price, US$307 per person, shared service, tour only. It covers the transport, the Ballestas boat, the buggy, the Nazca Lines flight and the bus back. The hotel night in Nazca is added to your quote. The airfield tax is paid in cash at Nazca.
Departures every day of the year. Pick your start date and send the free quote form. We confirm the flight slot and the seats within the day.
Book a week ahead in December to March and around Peruvian holidays, when flights and buses fill. Tell us your passport details early, because the flight operator needs them.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Night in Nazca, high point about 1,710 ft (520 m) on the dunes
Pickup between 4:40 and 5:00 a.m. for the drive south on the Panamericana, about 160 mi (260 km) to Paracas.
After a box breakfast at the pier, about two hours on the water past the Candelabro geoglyph and around the islands. The boat does not land.
A short visit and tasting at a pisco bodega, then free time for lunch, paid on your own.
Time by the lagoon and the buggy and sandboard run on the dunes.
About 2.5 hours south of Ica. Check in and dinner on your own in town.
Back in Lima near 11 p.m., the flight is the only time off the ground
After breakfast, transfer to the María Reiche airfield. Bring your passport: the operator checks it and weighs every passenger to balance the plane.
About 30 to 45 minutes in the air, depending on the operator's route. Each figure gets a turn to the left and one to the right. Morning fog sometimes delays takeoff, and the operator waits for it to clear.
A transfer to the bus terminal for the regular coach north, about nine hours with stops.
Arrival around 11:00 p.m. and transfer to your hotel.
The route follows the Panamericana south from Lima to Paracas, Ica and Nazca, and the bus brings you back on the same highway.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
Yes. The overflight from the Nazca airfield is part of this 2-day tour. What you pay on the spot is the airfield tax, PEN 37 (about US$12) per person in cash. Your Nazca hotel goes on the quote as a separate line.
Peru's transport ministry certifies the operators, and we use certified ones only. The planes are small and the turns are tight, which feels worse than it is. If you are a nervous flyer, see the lines from the roadside viewing tower instead, or skip this tour.
Half an hour to 45 minutes airborne from the Nazca airfield, depending on the operator's route. Add an hour for check-in and the weigh-in before takeoff. Morning fog sometimes delays departures.
Not comfortably by road. Nazca is about 280 mi (450 km) from Lima, around seven hours each way. That is why this tour sleeps in Nazca and flies in the morning, when the air is calmer.
This one flies from the Nazca airfield and rides the bus back for about nine hours. The Pisco version sleeps in Paracas, flies a longer route from Pisco airport and is back in Lima by the afternoon. It costs more, from US$607.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
Ballestas Islands and Huacachina on day one, a night in Paracas, then a flight of about 1 hour 40 minutes from Pisco over the Nazca and Palpa lines. US$607.
Four hours with a guide in Lima: the Miraflores clifftop, a look at Huaca Pucllana, then the colonial center and the San Francisco catacombs. US$97.
A half day south of Lima at Pachacamac, the adobe temple city of a coastal oracle, with the Inca Temple of the Sun and the wooden idol in the site museum. US$97.
