Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Nazca Lines overflight?
The overflight typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes, covering the main geoglyphs including the Hummingbird, Spider, Monkey, Whale, Astronaut, and Condor. The small planes carry 4-6 passengers.
Is the flight suitable for those prone to motion sickness?
The small planes bank left and right over each figure, which some passengers find disorienting. We recommend avoiding heavy meals before the flight and taking anti-nausea medication if you are prone to motion sickness.
What happens if the weather cancels the flight?
Nazca has one of the lowest rainfall rates in the world and flights are rarely cancelled due to weather. If a cancellation does occur, we rebook your flight or provide a full refund for that component.
How long is the drive from Lima to Nazca?
Nazca is approximately 450 km south of Lima — about 4.5 hours by road on the Pan-American Highway. Our private transport is comfortable, with stops available en route.
