Thirty minutes by plane over the 13 most iconic Nazca geoglyphs
The Nazca Lines flight is the only real way to understand the geoglyphs: from the ground, they are faint grooves you can barely make out, and only from above can you recognize the figures. The Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and Palpa are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and were drawn between 500 BC and AD 500.
We pick you up at your hotel in Nazca and take you to María Reiche Neumann airport. After check-in, the flight lasts 30 minutes aboard a Cessna 207A plane for 6 passengers and 2 crew, with your own seat and panoramic window. The plane banks over each figure so it can be seen from both sides: the condor, the spider, the monkey, the hummingbird and other figures, while the guide explains the theories about their origin.
It costs US$ 175 per person and includes the flight, round-trip transfer to your hotel, the guide and a flight certificate as a souvenir. The tour starts at 7:30 a.m. and takes half a day, so it pairs well with the Ica and Huacachina tour, in the same region and with no altitude concerns at all.

Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to the most common questions, so you can book with confidence.
Do I need to acclimatize before the flight?
No. Nazca is at 406 m, almost at sea level. What we do recommend is a light breakfast before the flight, since the plane’s turns over each figure can make some people queasy.
How difficult is the tour?
Physically, not at all: it’s a 30-minute scenic flight. The only thing to keep in mind is motion sickness, because of the turns the plane makes so that all passengers can see the figures from both sides.
Which tickets do I need to buy separately?
The flight is already included. Meals, travel expenses and any fee or procedure not listed in the program are paid separately.
What time does it start and how long does it take?
The tour starts at 7:30 a.m., with pickup from your hotel at the agreed time. The flight lasts 30 minutes, and the full tour, including transfers and procedures, takes half a day.
What should I bring?
Your passport (essential for airport procedures), sunglasses, a camera or phone with a charged battery and, if you tend to get motion sickness, motion sickness medicine taken ahead of time.
How do booking and payment work?
Before you buy, please contact us to confirm flight time availability. Seats on each plane are limited, so it’s best to book in advance.
What happens if the weather affects the tour?
Flights depend on visibility and wind conditions. If the weather forces a delay or cancellation, the flight is rescheduled to the next available time or we agree with you on a suitable alternative.
How much does the Nazca Lines flight cost?
The price is US$ 175 per person. It includes the 30-minute flight over the Nazca Lines, round-trip transfer to your hotel in Nazca, the tour guide and the flight certificate. It does not include meals, travel expenses, fees or procedures not listed, or tips.
Which figures can you see during the flight?
The 13 most representative geoglyphs, including the condor, the spider, the monkey and the hummingbird, plus other figures of animals, plants and human-like forms. The plane banks over each figure to one side and then the other, so every passenger can see them from their own window.
Do people usually get airsick on the flight?
It can happen. The plane is small and makes repeated turns over each figure, so if you tend to get motion sickness, have a very light breakfast and take motion sickness medicine ahead of time. Looking at the horizon between figures also helps. The flight lasts only 30 minutes, and most passengers are fine.
