Nazca Lines

First, i am impressed with how the lines were made. Next, do watch the video at the airport while you wait (and you will have to wait). Third, be very prepared for a bumpy ride. I do not get air or seasick but this made me feel a little queasy. If you have a UV and polarised filter for your camera lenses, do consider using them. Once the sun is high and strong enough, the pictures do not come out well.

Loved seeing this! We did not take the plane to get a view of all of the lines, however we felt that the view from the observation tower gave a fantastic idea and impression of the sheer size of the lines. Perfect!

It's a 7-hour drive from Lima to Nazca and even longer by bus. Nice views from the airplane to see the lines below, but pictures will not come out on phone camera. In other words, you have to be there to appreciate as you won't be able to share the details with others through pix. In addition to the flight fare, there are also local taxes you must pay.

Extraordinary views from above. The only downside was a very long waiting time and nk clear order of who is boarding the plane

We take airplane from Pisco to see the mysterious Nasca lines from the air. It is truly amazing. What an experience!

Nazca lines are something special. Visit it by plane and enjoy the view. Be aware, planes are small and bumpy but worth it.

Definitely recommend taking a plane tour of the lines. However, motion sickness and low oxygen were both issues for me (I’m 27 and in good health) so I would not recommend flying if you’re predisposed to either.

An unmissable spectacle. A real tourist magnet. Lines and diagrams are best viewed and admired from an aeroplane. On the outskirts of the city there is a specialised airport, a flying base. Several companies offer their services here. Tickets should be purchased in advance. The small aircraft, seating 4-5-6 people, will take visitors on a predetermined route, during which they will be able to see a number of figures from above. For safety reasons, there are two pilots on board. By default, one of them will inform the passengers, via a headset, during the flight, where to find the next diagram when looking down from above. The small aircraft is tilted to the right and left near the figure, so that passengers on both sides can see and photograph what they see. The altitude, the general behaviour of the small plane in the air, the right to left tilt and the considerable distance between camera and images, to a greater or lesser extent, brought out a little "sea" sickness in everyone during the flight. Once on the ground, they are treated using simple methods, but a doctor is also available. The experience made up for the difficulties. The staff are helpful, friendly and helpful. Even though it is "only" a domestic flight, expect a security check and take your passport with you! At the airport, you will also be able to buy food, toilets and souvenirs. An experience you can't get anywhere else. Don't miss it! I recommend it to everyone!
