From the air, you will be able to admire 13 of the most iconic and mysterious figures in the world, including the Hummingbird, the Monkey, and the Condor. To ensure that all travelers have an unbeatable view, the pilots will perform controlled banking maneuvers to both sides of the aircraft, allowing you to capture spectacular photographs of these geoglyphs.

Frequently Asked Questions – Nazca Lines Overflight
Why does the trip from Lima start at 10:00 PM?
It is a strategic decision. Traveling at night allows you to arrive in Nasca at 5:30 AM, ensuring you are among the first on the airfield’s waiting list. The best flights, with less turbulence and better lighting for photos, occur early in the morning before desert winds pick up.
How many figures can you see during the flight?
The standard 35-minute overflight allows you to observe 13 main geoglyphs, among which the Hummingbird, the Monkey, the Astronaut, the Condor, the Spider, and the Hands stand out. The pilot will tell you exactly where to look at each moment.
Is the small aircraft overflight safe?
Absolutely. We work with certified airlines that comply with strict protocols from the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC). Additionally, the aircraft are specifically designed for observation, with panoramic windows for each passenger.
What happens if I exceed 210 lbs (95 kg)?
For aircraft safety and balance, weight is critical. If a passenger exceeds 210 lbs (95 kg), the air safety system requires payment for an additional seat to compensate for the load. This is a standard protocol at all Nasca airfields.
Is it really necessary to take a motion sickness pill?
Yes, it is highly recommended. So that all passengers can see the figures, the pilot constantly tilts the aircraft to the right and to the left. If you are not accustomed to this type of movement, you could feel dizzy. Having a light breakfast and a preventive like Dramamine greatly improves the experience.
What is the “Tourist Ticket” and why isn’t it included?
It is a municipal and airfield usage tax charged by the local government (approx. S/ 77.00). It is paid directly in cash at the airfield because it is a personal tax that requires the registration of your identification document at the time.
What happens if the weather is cloudy or very windy?
Flight departures depend on Control Tower authorization. If there is fog or strong winds (paracas), flights are paused for safety. In that case, we wait for the port to open to resume flight slots.
Can I travel with just a copy of my passport or ID?
No. For national security and airport protocols, it is mandatory to present the original, valid physical document. Photos on your phone or simple copies are not valid for boarding the aircraft.
Does the tour include food?
No, the package cost focuses on premium transportation and flight logistics. However, upon arriving early in Nasca and before returning to Lima, you will have free time to enjoy the local cuisine on your own.
How far in advance should I book?
Since spaces on Cruz del Sur buses and flight slots are limited, we recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (June to August).
