Customer Reviews
“It really exceeded all expectations, we could not imagine how successful the choice was, it was a trip organized by Mystery Peru, very well executed without any complaints from its guides and driver who took us from Lima to Nazca passing through Pachacamac ruins and its activities all included, Just like in Huacachina, and of course the Nazca lines with an overflight. It should be noted that before the flight, Enrique gave us a masterful talk at his Lodge about what we would see on the flight and that made the visit much more useful, a very good experience!”
