Description
Description
Discover Nasca, an ancient civilization that flourished on the southern coast of Peru, occupying the fertile valleys that today form part of the Ica region. This culture is world famous for creating gigantic geoglyphs drawn across the desert: the enigmatic Nasca Lines, one of the greatest archaeological mysteries on the planet.
On this full-day tour you will have the opportunity to fly over these impressive figures and appreciate their true magnitude from the air. During the flight you will observe geoglyphs shaped like animals such as the monkey, the spider, and the hummingbird, as well as plants and geometric figures traced across the desert.

After passing through the city of Ica and the Palpa Valley, we will arrive at the Maria Reiche Airfield, where we will board our flight over the desert. - The Nasca Lines represent the highest cultural expression of the southern coast during the Regional Development period of Ancient Peru. More than 800 figures traced across the desert plain reveal the worldview of the Nasca culture and its relationship with the surrounding environment. Due to their great historical and cultural importance, since 1994 UNESCO has recognized the geoglyphs of Palpa and Nasca as a World Heritage Site.
- Huacachina Oasis
Finally, we will visit the spectacular Huacachina Oasis, considered one of the few natural oases in the Americas. This impressive landscape combines majestic golden dunes with the emerald-green waters of its lagoon, creating a unique setting in the middle of the desert. - Huacachina is the perfect place for adventure lovers. Here you can experience the thrill of sandboarding down the dunes and enjoy an unforgettable ride in dune buggies, traveling at high speed across the natural formations of the Ica desert.
