Fly from Nazca Airport

Classic Nazca Lines Flight

Aircraft prepared for a classic Nazca Lines flight

Flying over the Nazca Lines from Nazca's airport is a popular and affordable way to experience the world-famous geoglyphs. Climb aboard a Cessna 207 aircraft with two pilots and six passengers. Every traveler has a window seat to provide fantastic views of the Nazca Lines.

The earliest flights start around 9:20 AM, and this is the best time of day to fly. Visibility is good and turbulence is usually low. Flights are also available in the late morning and early afternoon, if the weather is good and there are enough passengers. Check with us and we will provide more information.

Note: during the high season (July 15 to August 31) the price is $95 USD per person.

“You'll never forget the first time you see the Nazca Hummingbird, stretched out across the top of the mesa. It has laid there untouched for more than a thousand years.”
