Nazca Lines

Flight worth any penny. Unforgettable air travel to admire the world-famous carvings of the unknown origin. Definitely great attraction.

I took the airplane tour to see the nazca lines from Paracas/Pisco. Definitely is a great experience.
1. Went to the airport with my passport (they have a cool stamp that you can put in your passport of the nazca lines)
2.Bring a good cámara.
3.The plane we used was great as it has one seat configuration and big windows, that means everyone will see the lines.
4. From Pisco to the NAZCA lines is a 40 minute flight
5. When you arrive to the NAZCA lines the captain of the plane start explaining where are all the figures and he fly by them so you can see them.
IMPORTANT INFO: IF YOU HAVE MOTION SICKNESS OR YOU GET DIZZY VERY EASY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE DRAMAMINE AS YOU WILL GET DIZZY VERY EASY BECAUSE OF THE PLANE MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
You will have the opportunity to see around 12 to 15 figures.
6. Fly back to Pisco Airport will take another 40 minutes.
Making long story short, for me is one of the best experiences but nobody told me of the extreme plane maneuvers so I wasn't prepare to get sick because all the movement, I wish somebody would tell me that.

Will remember this experience fondly. Flying above and witnessing amazing human feats. The plane ride can get bumpy and those with motion sickness should be prepared. Its a spectacular experience and rich history surrounds these plains.

Once in life time. Small plane. Good experience. The way to Nasca had mango groves.

We love the Nazca Lines, a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of southern Peru. Created by the Nazca people between 500 BCE and 500 CE, these massive designs cover an area of about 450 square kilometers (170 square miles). Despite many theories, the exact purpose of the Nazca Lines remains a mystery, and researchers continue to explore and debate their significance in the context of Nazca culture and ancient civilizations.

Flight worth any penny. Unforgettable air travel to admire the world-famous carvings of the unknown origin. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the flight at the first day of our stay in Nazca due to windy conditions but didn’t lost any money as it was possible to use the same ticket next day. Definitely great attraction.

Wow! Bucket list item, ticked off the list. Take your anti-nausea meds, even if you never get sick. Pilot has to tip the plane from side to side for everyone to see, plus a bit of wind, and you will understand the need for puke bags. Worth it!!!

A set of biomorphic, phytomorphic and geometric geoglyphs designed and executed on the Nazca and Palpa desert, department of Ica, Peru, are known as the “Nazca lines”.

It is often believed that these lines can only be seen from the sky. For this reason, they have generated all kinds of questions and speculations. Were the Nazca lines dedicated to the gods? Was there possible technology at that time for the magnitude of this work? Were they runways for prototype aviation from the Nazca culture or, beyond, for extraterrestrial beings? Were they made by human hands?

The truth is that the beauty of the Nazca lines can be seen from the top of the surrounding hills, which radically changes the way of understanding them. In fact, this is how the Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejía Xesspe discovered them in the 20th century, specifically in 1927.

Interest in studying these geoglyphs did not spread until 1940, when Paúl Kosok and María Richie, two international researchers, published a series of aerial photographs taken by the National Aerographic Service.

These geoglyphs, that is, these inscriptions on large tracts of land, are enormous in size and can be easily observed from above, which has given rise to countless theories about the purpose of their creation.

You need to see these from the air, plane or helicopter. Then go to the ground to explore. Most amazing

Very cool to see these lines!! The scenic flights are great views but be prepared to get sick, the plane gets tilted on sharp angles to allow easy viewing but after about 10 mins it wrecks your stomach. Flights are 30, 45 & 60 mins.

Definitely seeing those figures from the plain was absolutely fantastic, great experience, you can feel peace being in land looking the firmament.

Very warm would come again

Awesome to see. From the tower you get a surprisingly good view of some of the lines. :)

We took a flight to see the nazca lines and finished the tour within one day from Lima. We needed to take bus from Lima to Ica / the airport first and then taking the flight. The view of the nazca lines from the flight was super good. Although it’s a big pricy, it gave visitors an easier option to do it within limited days in Lima. Please be aware that the departure of the flight depends on the weather, so it’s not 100% guaranteed that visitors would be able to get on flights and start the tour. Highly recommend!

Wonderful mysterious place. It's a desert, true, but once you see it from the sky it's another story. Taking a flight above the lines is mandatory in order to appreciate this unique place. Careful: it's difficult to spot the figures from the plane, needs a lot of concentration to be able to see them.

If you can get the plane to see the Nazca Lines, its the only way to see them properly.
It's not so expensive and you get to the planes when is full, max 5 pass.
It's worth the experience, beside the lines there's nothing to do in Nazca town.

It was quiet different than I have imagined. I read Eric von Daniken's book when I was a child 50 years ago and since I wanted to visit the magical lines. They were not clear from the plane but visible. The most visible one was the hummingbird followed by the monkey. Aerodiana provided a nice Cessna plane touring the area but it was so loud and we were not able to hear the captain/guide briefing us over the speakers clearly. After the tour, the company provides Nazca lines certificate in Spanish written with our names.
I believe the lines were not well protected since the 60s and weather has done a toll on them where I have seen quite a bit flood signs that damaged the signs partially as well as some four wheel tire tracks that doesn't seem part of the maintenance crew. Although the rainfall in Nazca is 4 millimeters a year, the national treasure is fading every year. I was not very impressed.

This is literally off the side of the highway in Peru. If you ever get a chance to go there, make sure it’s when the sun is setting because it’s like no other.

Great experience ever seen 🇵🇪

The best way to see tle lines is to take a flight whis is quite expensive. But you will to that onice in a life ;) ❤🏞🌞🔝
