Without argument, the star attractions in Nazca are the Nazca Lines. They are a set of ancient geoglyphs - huge lines drawn in the surface of the desert near Nazca. They were created thousands of years ago by an ancient tribe for reasons that remain unclear even to this day. Some of the figures are geometric, such as spirals and trapezoids and lines. Others are anthropomorphic, in the form of animals, birds, and people. Perhaps the most famous figures are the hummingbird, the spider, the whale, the dog, and a mysterious humanoid figure referred to as "the astronaut."

There are four main ways of seeing the Nazca Lines. The best option for you or your group, to see the Nazca Lines, depends on your budget, your tour route, and how much time you have available.

Nazca Lines Flight from Ica:

Visitors in Lima who are rushed for time should consider taking a tour of the Nazca Lines that leaves from the city of Ica (located 4.5 hours south of Lima, and two hours to the north of Nazca), which flies over the lines for thirty minutes, then returns to Ica. This tour will save you almost 5 hours of travel time. It is significantly more expensive than the flight from Nazca because of the extra fuel required to fly to Nazca before beginning the narrated part of the tour.

Tours include: transportation to the airport from your hotel in Ica or Huacachina, an introductory historical video, a 1 hour 20 minute flight over the Nazca Lines (45 minutes of which is spent travelling to and from the lines), transportation from the airport back to your point of origin in Ica.
