Itinerary
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!

Traveler reviews
A unique and mystical journey back into time
An almost 12 hour journey taking one back into an ancient time that still amazes, mystifies and entertains the senses. Our guide and driver were attentive, knowledgeable and courteous. Our guide provided the right balance of information and quiet and always was ready to answer questions with the thoughtful reply and anecdote.
Nazca Line Flight
This is not an inexpensive trip but it is well worth it. Everyone has a window seat. The pilots bank the plane twice so both sides get a good view of each figure.
Nazca Lines - Fantastic - but take Stugeron
Our guide Miriam was very welcoming and kind. We were kept informed of the stages to our trip and were well looked after. The flight over the Nazca lines was exciting and exhilarating. Not for the faint hearted though as the plane banks and rolls a number of times in order to give every passenger a view of the incredible geoglyphs below…however, do take some anti-motion sickness medication beforehand if you can because a number of people on our flight were rather unwell mid-air as a result. All in all, a fantastic once in a lifetime experience.
Unmissable
Very good excursion, impressive flight over the lines of Nasca, although it takes a long time to enter and exit through the transit of Lima
Well worth the effort. Great support.
Guide and driver took great care of us, especially when weather delayed our flight. The staff for the flight were also very good, explaining in multiple languages where to look in time for everyone to see the geoglyphs.
