Description

The Nasca Lines Land Tour is recommended for all audiences, combining small hikes with beautiful views of the Nasca and Palpa valleys. Contrary to the belief that they can only be seen from the air, we tell you that there are several figures or Geoglyphs that can be easily seen from the lookout towers and from the surrounding hills, this tour takes you to know some little known but just as mysterious as "The Andean Cat", "The Lizard", "The Royal Family", "The Orca" and others.

Very informative and good vibes 🤝

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. We got picked up on time and everything went smoothly. We got to see heaps of lines from land, it was more than satisfying and you really only need to take a plane if you want to see the enormous ones. Even if you plan on going on a plane i recommend you take this tour first, because the more you know, the more interesting it gets. The Maria Reiche Museum was optional (I think it was 8 soles p.p. to get in) and our tour guide also guided us at the museum. 10/10 experience, I'm very glad I went!!

Great alternative to the flight

We loved this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got to learn about the geoglyphs in great detail, including one of the geoglyphs you don’t get to see on the flight! For those who don’t want to do the flight but still want to see some of the lines, this is a great option and well worth the money.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy to know you enjoyed the tour and that your guide helped you learn more about the geoglyphs in detail. It’s great to hear you appreciated the opportunity to see figures that are not visible on the flight, and that this land tour was a good alternative for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

VERY GOOD TOUR

Very good tour, takes you to walk the main nazca lines by land and gives you an explanation in each of them, I recommend.

Most intimate way to see the Nazca Lines

It was a very awesome tour. Unlike the flight tour, this land tour has the advantage of getting up close and personal with the geoglyphs. Also, it wasn't that crowded because most tourists do the flight, so most of the time we had the pleasure of viewing the geoglyphs in private and as long as we wished. The only downside is the geoglyphs you get to view is limited. But overall, we still highly recommended this tour. Maybe next time we'll do both the land tour and the flight tour.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re glad to know you enjoyed the land tour and had the chance to experience the geoglyphs up close in a more peaceful and less crowded way. It’s great to hear you appreciated the different perspective this tour offers, and we totally agree that combining both the land and flight tours can give a more complete experience of the Nazca Lines. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another adventure!

Not as advertised!

Nazca Lines Tour by Land Nazca Not as advertised 1053364887 This trip was NOT as advertised. The advert clearly shows visiting geoglyphs from land, Not just the Mirador tower that anyone can visit even by taxi. Since we had been to the tower earlier. Pepe the operator, gave us 3 choices: Mummies, Pyramid or pottery tour, no other nasca lines. We toured the mummies and it was very interesting. Also textiles and pottery. The guide was courteous and informative. So we got something out of it.

Appreciate the environment on foot.

Good to do the flight and a land tour to understand the area better. Another peaceful place the Nascas understand energy. Palpa lines are interesting too and much older. Great tour guide.
