Day 1: LIMA – ICA – LIMA

Our departures are daily but the tour opens with a minimum of 2 travelers, our starting point will be the Cruz del Sur agency of Javier Prado 1109, La Victoria. We will board the bus at 3:15 in the morning to Nazca in the cruise service.

At approximately 10:30 a.m. you will be received by our team in the city of Nazca and then transferred to the city airport where we can fly over the Nazca lines, which are mysterious designs and traces of various animals and plants of the region among which the monkey, the spider, the hummingbird and the condor stand out. The overflight gives us a different way to see all these designs more clearly, most of which reach measurements of 15 to 300 meters each and with a depth of approximately 30 centimeters.

According to the German-born researcher Dr. María Reiche, who dedicated a large part of her life to the study of these, she maintained that the Nazca lines were a great astronomical calendar that today would be considered the largest in the world.
