Duration: half day
View the famous Nazca Lines from the air
Highlights: Nazca Lines
FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
We drive to the Pisco airport to take a 1 hour and 40 minute flight over the Nazca Lines.
The Nazca Lines are a series of drawings of animals, geometric figures and birds ranging up to 1,000 feet in size. Preserved for an estimated 2,000 years on this desert crust, the lines have prompted many theories of their creation, from pre-Inca irrigation systems; to pleas from the ancient Peruvians to the gods above to help with their farming; to extra-terrestrial intervention. You will have to come to your own conclusions!
Drive back to San Martin port to rejoin the ship.
