You’ll be returned to Lima at the end of the day.

Itinerary
Nasca Lines
Admission not included240 min
Fly over the World Heritage-listed geoglyphs. The high, arid plateau of the Nasca Desert reaches across more than 50 miles (80 km); its isolation and dry climate has helped to preserve the lines over time. The exact origins and significance of these hundreds of figures are unclear, but it’s believed that the designs were created by the Nasca people between 400 and 650 AD. Fly over several of the individual designs, many of which are animals; your pilot will let you know which designs you're about to see; the monkey, spider, flamingo, condor and hummingbird represent the winter and summer solstices; their beaks point to the location of the sunrises and sunsets on the solstice days in Nasca. During the 1.5-hour flight, you'll have plenty of time to view the one-of-a-kind artwork with great photo ops from the air!

A more talkative and informed guide would be recommended
Good tour, good, smooth organisation. Good guide, but she took only the role of organiser, not a guide - she gave no information about Peru or Lima on the long way to Nasca and on the return. A more talkative and informed guide would be recommended.

A unique and mystical journey back into time
An almost 12 hour journey taking one back into an ancient time that still amazes, mystifies and entertains the senses. Our guide and driver were attentive, knowledgeable and courteous. Our guide provided the right balance of information and quiet and always was ready to answer questions with the thoughtful reply and anecdote.

Nazca Line Flight
This is not an inexpensive trip but it is well worth it. Everyone has a window seat. The pilots bank the plane twice so both sides get a good view of each figure.

Nazca Lines - Fantastic - but take Stugeron
Our guide Miriam was very welcoming and kind. We were kept informed of the stages to our trip and were well looked after. The flight over the Nazca lines was exciting and exhilarating. Not for the faint hearted though as the plane banks and rolls a number of times in order to give every passenger a view of the incredible geoglyphs below…however, do take some anti-motion sickness medication beforehand if you can because a number of people on our flight were rather unwell mid-air as a result. All in all, a fantastic once in a lifetime experience.

Very good excursion, impressive flight over the lines of Nasca, although it takes a long time to enter and exit through the transit of Lima

Well worth the effort. Great support.
Guide and driver took great care of us, especially when weather delayed our flight. The staff for the flight were also very good, explaining in multiple languages where to look in time for everyone to see the geoglyphs.

I was picked up at 6:40 am and dropped off at 7:30 pm. That is all I have to say but they demand more characters

Disappointing
The tour guide arrived early to my hotel, which was great, but he didn't speak English so I had no idea what he was explaining about Pisco or anything else. He used a translator on his phone to explain a couple of pertinent things but that was it. I understand I'm in a Spanish speaking country, but if you advertise that you have English speaking guides, and I indicate I'm English speaking when I book the tour, why wouldn't you make sure there was an English speaking guide?
At one point we were dropped off for lunch, and when the van returned it was full of new people and my backpack had been moved. There is a reasonable understanding that your belongings will be safe in the van, but that wasn't the case. While the guide was very nice, all of these things added up to a poor experience.
As for the Nazca lines flight, half of the plane was sick from the flying maneuvers. The flight was quick so you barely had a chance to see the lines.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you bringing these important points to our attention.
We apologise for the lack of English-speaking guidance, especially when it was requested and expected as part of your tour. Providing clear communication is essential, and we understand how frustrating it must have been not to fully enjoy the experience due to this issue. We are actively reviewing this situation with our team to ensure it does not happen again.
Regarding the handling of your personal belongings and the unexpected change of passengers, we understand your concern. The security and comfort of our guests is a top priority, and we will reinforce our protocols with our staff and transportation partners.
As for the Nazca Lines flight, while the flight path is designed to allow views from both sides of the plane, we recognise that the tight turns can be uncomfortable for some passengers. We will look into how we can better prepare future travellers for this experience.
We appreciate your kind words about the guide’s attitude and are truly sorry that these issues impacted your overall enjoyment. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in a future experience with VIPAC.
