From July 15 to August 31, this tour is $105 USD per person, plus airport taxes.Minimum: 2 travelers.
“The flight is more powerful when you understand what you are looking at. A little context turns strange desert marks into one of the great mysteries of ancient Peru.”“The flight is more powerful when the figures have context. Your guide helps you recognize the Monkey, Hummingbird, Spider, and other ancient designs before they appear beneath the wings.”
