Premium route from Paracas
The Nazca Lines flight from Paracas is one of the most popular and well-reviewed tours that we offer. 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 16 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 Paracas will save you so much time!
Please reserve in advance whenever possible, especially during the busiest travel months.
We know its confusing but these are two different names for the same airport! ✈️ The Nazca Lines flights will depart from Capitán FAP Renán Elías Olivera Airport, located about 20 minutes north of Paracas which is about 6 minutes west of Pisco. Some travel agencies call it “Paracas Airport” because it’s the closest airport to Paracas and serves all the visitors staying there. But rest assured—it’s the same airport.
