Tour Overview

The Nazca Lines are one of the world’s greatest archaeological mysteries. Etched into the arid desert floor over 2,000 years ago, these gigantic geoglyphs depict various animals, plants, and geometric shapes that can only be truly appreciated from the sky.

Taking off directly from the regional aerodrome in Ica, this scenic overflight saves you the long drive to the town of Nazca. You’ll board a modern Cessna aircraft where every passenger gets a window seat. During the thrilling flight, the pilot will perform sharp banks on both sides so everyone can clearly see and photograph the most famous figures, including the Monkey, the Spider, the Hummingbird, and the mysterious Astronaut.
