What people are saying about Nazca

Jessica was a knowledgeable and friendly guide...the flight from Pisco to Nazca was nice and we had an excellent co-pilot / guide in Jorge...it is a somewhat bumpy ride in a Cessna but highly recommended. The lunch at the winery and the tasting was enjoyable and the buggy ride over the sand dunes was a lot of fun. A long day however well worth the time. Appreciate the team letting us know of the delayed start.

You’ll spend more hours traveling than doing activities but it’s so worth it. The sand dunes were amazing, the buggy drivers are experts, and the flight to see the Nazca lines is amazing as well. Make sure you do the flight on an empty stomach. A lot of people got dizzy on the flight so be careful. Do the sand dunes first before the flights as it can get super hot so doing it early is better.

Very punctual in the pick-up, we went to Ica and had breakfast there and then continued to Nazca where we took the overflight, which was a nice experience. Then a restaurant in Nazca which offered a variety of dishes, mainly fish and shellfish, and we finished with a buggy ride. All well structured, exhausting day.

It was an amazing experience, you need to consider traveling to Nasca if you are not staying there and also that the plane is a bit small so you might feel a bit sick after or during . The guide is showing you the lines so quite easy to spot and they are absolutely out of this space amazing

breathtaking views. the pilot was very talkative and nice guy. saw the nazca linea from every angle
