A complete flight over the Nazca and Palpa Lines shows you all the best of the Peruvian desert.
Unlike the classic Nazca Lines flight, this special tour lasts one hour and covers a bigger archaeological zone.

Likewise, you will see various birds, such as a condor, a hummingbird, and a heron, as large as 3 soccer fields.
Perhaps the most striking image of all, is the Astronaut, a strange human shape with a large head and big eyes.
Unlike the other designs, the astronaut was drawn on a hillside and not on the surface, as in most of the Nazca Lines.
After flying over the Nazca zone, we will fly towards the Palpa desert.
According to the archaeologist, the Palpa Lines belong to a period much older than the Nazca Lines.
The first figure you will see is a representation of a pelican, which is located on the slope of a small hill.
