Nazca Lines Overflight Tour from Ica with Video
From €223 per person
See availability →A Nazca Lines overflight tour from Ica or Huacachina: a transfer to the aerodrome, a short video about the geoglyphs and a 35-minute flight in a small plane.
This Nazca Lines overflight tour from Ica or Huacachina puts the desert drawings right outside your window. A pickup at your hotel starts the day, and the transfer takes you to Nazca.
At the María Reiche Aerodrome a representative of the operator registers you and gives you information and recommendations for the flight. A short video then introduces the lines, so you know what to look for before you take off. The figures were drawn some time between 400 and 650 AD, and a ritual or religious meaning is a common guess.
Each passenger of the small planes sits by a window. The flyover lasts 35 minutes, and the animals and shapes you may spot include:
- A condor, hummingbird, pelican and parrot
- A monkey, a spider, a whale and a lizard
- The astronaut, plus hundreds of lines and geometric shapes like huge landing strips
If you continue south to Arequipa or Cusco by night bus, your luggage can wait in the operator's office in Nazca until departure. The flyover tax and the partial tourist ticket are paid separately.
