Excellent day in Nazca and Huacachina!

Our guide Jan, was an archaeologist and so had some great insights about the Nazca lines. Our two drivers were excellent, each had to drive for approximately 7 hours. It made for a very long day but it was worth it! The Huacachina dune buggy experience was great fun too!

This was an unforgettable...

This was an unforgettable experience! Yes, the day and drive were long but we found the trip well worth it! Our tour guide Susan, was amazing. She was knowledgeable and very patient with all of our questions. She also seemed to know everyone we encountered. Susan is clearly a favorite among the local tour guides. We felt they treated us exceptionally well because we were with her

Amazing experience, great guides, but long day.

We had a great time at Nazca and Huacachina. Both places were beautiful and unique experiences. The flight is relatively short, the pilots sway over the most important lines and say a few words. The oasis is a wonderful place, the buggy drive is quite exhilarating and action packed. Be aware: it starts super early. We were picked up on time at 4 am. We arrived at 10 pm the same day. It can be tiring and I exhausting. The flight over the Nazca lines is in a cesna, small plane for max of 6 people excluding both pilots. The flight is a bit unnerving, wobbly and can make you feel sick. The buggy drive can get a bit rough at times (but fun all throughout!) The sights are worth it. Overall: Our driver and guide were both absolutely wonderful people and I had a great time all day long. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience for anyone with a short amount of time and a high curiosity.

A Worthwhile Journey!

The drive to and from Lima was very long but the trip is still very worthwhile! The Nazca Lines are absolutely amazing and the trip was made special by how knowledgeable our guide, Alex was. 5/5 great experience!

Nazca is everything you hoped for, and the dunes and oasis are interesting surprises!

Nazca is everything you think it will be! The dunes and oasis near Ica are also amazing and worth the time invested!

Great tour!

Had a great tour with our guide Pamela. We chose the Pisco flight option (rather than the longer overall Nazca flight option). The drive to Huacachina was pleasant, and Pamela gave us excellent information about the country, the countryside, and the areas we were passing through. Huacachina was fun! We arrived early in the day and ours was the first dune buggy out there, so we essentially had the place to ourselves! The flight from the Pisco Int'l Airport was quite pleasant until we reached the Nazca lines. I'm glad we followed Pamela's advice and didn't eat or drink a couple of hours before the flight; otherwise, it would've been unpleasant. Be prepared for steep banking and turbulence over the lines - it's the price you have to pay for the aerial view. After a pleasant sea-side meal in Paracas, the drive back was uneventful despite the usual Lima traffic. An outstanding tour. Thank you, Pamela and Lima Highlights Tours!

Amazing Trip

What a great trip!! It was an early morning, and a lot of time in the van, but it was so worth it!! The sand boarding and sand buggy was so much fun, and the Nazca lines were fascinating!! Alex was the perfect guide. She was so personal and a wealth of knowledge. She entertained us for most of the trip. I have to give a huge compliment to our two drivers Jose and Rudolfo. It was definitely a challenging drive at times and they were amazing. I highly recommend this tour!!
