Nazca Lines Full Day Trip from Lima

Some shapes formed by the Nazca lines are designs of animals such as a hummingbird, spider, fish, llama, jaguar, monkey, lizard, and a human.

Travelers are ready to start their flight expedition as many of the Nazca figures are most visible from the air.

Nazca lines form shapes that are usually made from one continuous line.

Make sure to have your camera ready, and your phone charged for recording this natural wonder high from the sky.

Combined length of all the lines is over 1,300 km (808 mi), and it is assumed Nazca people created them to be seen by deities in the sky.

Colorful handicraft and souvenirs remind on the extraordinary art produced by the ancient culture who used to live in the Nazca desert.

Overview

See the mysterious and awe-inspiring Nazca Lines from the air on this tour from Lima. After the drive down the Peruvian coast from Lima to Paracas, take off over the lines (or geoglyphs, to get scientific) aboard a Cessna plane. As you fly over the Nazca Desert drawings, a UNESCO World Heritage site, take aerial photos and form your own opinions about their ancient meaning — there are many hypotheses! You’ll be returned to Lima at the end of the day.

What to expect

Nasca Lines
4h · Admission ticket not included

Fly over the World Heritage-listed geoglyphs. The high, arid plateau of the Nasca Desert reaches across more than 50 miles (80 km); its isolation and dry climate has helped to preserve the lines over time. The exact origins and significance of these hundreds of figures are unclear, but it’s believed that the designs were created by the Nasca people between 400 and 650 AD. Fly over several of the individual designs, many of which are animals; your pilot will let you know which designs you're about to see; the monkey, spider, flamingo, condor and hummingbird represent the winter and summer solstices; their beaks point to the location of the sunrises and sunsets on the solstice days in Nasca. During the 1.5-hour flight, you'll have plenty of time to view the one-of-a-kind artwork with great photo ops from the air!
