You’ll never forget the moment that you spot the magnificent Nazca Lines Hummingbird geoglyph, stretching across the rocky desert floor, untouched for more than a thousand years.
From your window seat on a Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft, spot 12 of the most-famous geoglyphs including the Monkey, the Condor, the “Astronaut”, the Hands, the Tree, the Spider, and many other favorites! The Nazca Lines must be seen from the air to truly appreciate their size and dramatic location.
Flying from Pisco has become become a popular choice for visitors, because Pisco’s airport is much closer to Lima than Nazca airport is. Spend less time in traffic, and more time enjoying Peru’s epic attractions!
When weather conditions are ideal and there isn’t too much air traffic on the route from Pisco to Nazca, the pilot may fly over five intriguing Palpa Lines. Although this special bonus isn’t always possible, it’s definitely an exciting addition to the tour when conditions allow.
We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Paracas or Pisco, or from the bus station in Paracas, and transfer you 15 minutes to the north, to the airport in Pisco. There, please show your passports, and pay the airport tax of 70 soles per person in cash. Everyone will be weighed.
Finally, it is time to step aboard the Cessna Grand Caravan to start your adventure! During the flight, the pilots will name each figure as the airplane flies over. The duration of the flight is 95 minutes, including 35 minutes over the Nazca Lines and Palpa Lines.
After your thrilling flight is over, and the airplane lands at Pisco airport, we’ll transport you back to your hotel or pickup location.
WHAT TIME WILL MY FLIGHT BEGIN? CAN I CHOOSE THE FLIGHT TIME?
Flights depart between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM. The airline assigns flight times, but we’ll do our best to honor your preferred time. Pickup details are confirmed the evening before the flight. Flexibility is appreciated, and weather or air traffic can cause delays.
WHEN WILL I LEARN WHAT TIME I AM FLYING?
At 6:00 PM on the evening before your flight, we’ll let you know the exact pickup time for your tour, and our check-in time at the airport.
RESERVE FAR IN ADVANCE, WHEN POSSIBLE, TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT
We recommend reserving your Nazca Lines flight as early as possible. Booking early gives you more flexibility and peace of mind! This is because flights from Pisco often fill up quickly — sometimes months in advance. That said — we’ll always try our best to find available seats for you or your group.
WEIGHT LIMIT : For passenger safety, travelers weighing more than 120 kg (265 pounds) may be asked to pay an additional fee of $165 USD.
AGE LIMIT: Minimum is 2 years, and there is no maximum age.
TALL TRAVELERS WELCOME: Don’t let small airplanes cramp your style. The seats on the Cessna Grand Caravan are larger than the seats on the small Cessnas in Nazca. Fly comfortable!
MOTION SICKNESS : Most travelers don’t experience any motion sickness, but about 15-20% of travelers may feel some motion sickness. To prevent this, travelers may wish to take dramamine about an hour before we pick them up.
