Flying from Nazca Airport keeps the flight cost lower, but the airport is much farther from Lima, making this a longer day on the road.

Private Nazca Lines Day Tour
via Nazca Airport
This is the longer, budget-friendlier route from Lima to Maria Reiche Airport in Nazca, with private transport, an English-speaking guide, and a classic Nazca Lines flight aboard a Cessna 207.
A knowledgeable English-speaking guide accompanies the journey from start to finish, assisting our guests and sharing theories about the origins and purpose of the Nazca geoglyphs.
Tour prices are listed in US dollars.This route requires a lower price, but Nazca Airport is far and requires a long drive.
The Classic Nazca Airport Route
After early pickup in Lima, travel privately with your guide toward Nazca, roughly six hours south. This route is longer than Pisco, but it is a good option for travelers who want the lower flight price available from Nazca Airport.
At Maria Reiche Airport, board a Cessna 207 for a classic Nazca Lines flight of about 35 minutes, including roughly 32 minutes directly over the geoglyphs.
After the flight, purchase and eat lunch if you wish, visit the Nazca Lines observation tower, and then continue the private drive back to Lima.
