Book this version if you want the Nazca Lines and do not want to spend nine hours on a bus to get back. You fly from Pisco airport, about 25 minutes from Paracas, instead of driving to the Nazca airfield. The flight is longer because the plane has to cover the distance south and back, and it passes over the Palpa geoglyphs on the way. You are back in Lima in the afternoon of day two. If the budget matters more than the time, the Nazca 2-day tour with the bus back costs half.
Pickup before 5 a.m. for the drive to Paracas and the morning boat around the Ballestas Islands, about two hours among sea lions and seabirds. Then a pisco winery near Ica and the dunes at Huacachina, with time by the lagoon or on a buggy. You sleep back in Paracas, by the bay.
The flight from Pisco takes about 1 hour 40 minutes. Over the desert you see the Ocucaje valley and the river valleys of Palpa and Ingenio, then the Nazca figures: the whale, the astronaut on its hillside, the monkey, the condor, the spider and the hummingbird. After landing, the drive to Lima is about four hours.
For most travelers, yes. You save a full afternoon and evening on a bus, you see more from the plane and you sleep by the sea instead of in Nazca town. Light flyers who get airsick should know the flight is long, so the tablets matter more here.
One price, US$607 per person, shared service, with the Pisco overflight, a night in a Paracas hotel, the Ballestas boat and all ground transport. Single travelers pay a room supplement, quoted on request through the free quote form.
Departures every day of the year, subject to flight seats. Pick your start date and send the free quote form. We confirm the flight and the hotel within the day.
Book at least a week ahead, longer in December to March and on Peruvian holidays. The flight operator needs your passport details when we book.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Night in Paracas, high point about 1,710 ft (520 m) on the dunes
Pickup between 4:40 and 5:00 a.m. and about 160 mi (260 km) south on the Panamericana to Paracas.
About two hours on the water, past the Candelabro and around the guano islands. The boat does not land.
A short visit and a tasting, then free time for lunch, paid on your own.
Time by the lagoon, or a buggy and sandboard run on the dunes.
About an hour and a quarter back to the bay. Dinner on your own on the waterfront.
Lima by mid-afternoon, flight altitude about 4,920 ft (1,500 m)
After breakfast, about 25 minutes from Paracas to the airport. Check-in includes a passport check and a weigh-in to balance the plane.
About 1 hour 40 minutes in the air, over the Ocucaje valley, the Palpa geoglyphs and the Nazca figures, with turns to both sides over each one.
About four hours north on the Panamericana.
Back in the afternoon, with the evening free.
Day one runs from Lima to Paracas, Ica and Huacachina and back to the Paracas bay. Day two flies from Pisco over Palpa and Nazca and drives back to Lima.

"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.
Time. Flying from Pisco saves the drive to Nazca and the nine-hour bus back to Lima. The flight is longer, about 1 hour 40 minutes, and passes over the Palpa geoglyphs too. You are back in Lima on the afternoon of day two instead of near midnight.
Yes. The overflight from Pisco airport is part of the US$607, with the night in Paracas, breakfast on day two, the Ballestas boat and the ground transport. Lunches, dinners, tips and any fee charged on the spot are extra.
Per the operator's route: the whale, the trapezoids, the astronaut, the monkey, the condor, the spider, the hummingbird and the Palpa geoglyphs. The pilot follows the operator's set route, and visibility on the day decides how sharp they look.
Operators are certified by Peru's transport ministry and we book certified ones only. The planes are small and the turns are tight, which feels worse than it is. Nervous flyers who still want to go should sit near the wing and keep their eyes on the horizon.
No. The boat runs in the morning and the flights leave in the morning too, so the night in Paracas lets you do both without a 3 a.m. start on day two.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
Two days from Lima: the Ballestas Islands and Huacachina dunes on day one, a night in Nazca, then the Nazca Lines overflight and the bus back. From US$307.
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.
