Sobre el tour

Fly over the mysterious Nazca Lines and witness their breathtaking geoglyphs from above.

Lima, Nazca, Nazca Airfield

The Nazca Lines overflight tour is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness one of the world’s greatest archaeological mysteries from the air. Located in the southern Peruvian desert, the Nazca Lines are enormous geoglyphs etched into the landscape over 1,500 years ago by the ancient Nazca Culture. From a small aircraft above the Nazca airfield, you’ll spot iconic figures such as the Hummingbird, the Monkey, the Spider, the Condor, and the enigmatic Astronaut.

The pilot performs controlled turns so every passenger can clearly see each geoglyph from multiple angles, with breathtaking views of the desert landscape. After the flight, there’s free time to have lunch and explore before boarding the overnight bus back to Lima — a full day of archaeology, mystery, and one of Peru’s most extraordinary aerial experiences.
