This place is a great location to see some nature around Lima. The place is about 60min away from Lima and reachable by local busses. The entrance is 8 soles. Not many tourists come to visit as this hike is still a hidden secret. The (long) walk is about 7.5km. The shorter one might be around 5km.
The way is muddy in winter so make sure u wear some good shoes.

Beautiful place Here and a fun SAFe experience (I was worried on the way in). a hill trek embedded in cloud. easiest way to get here is by Uber. cost us 65 Sol to get dropped off at the base. there are 2 paths (picture posted), the higher path that went left was closed due to cloud, so we turned right and went down.
Fun locals that are helpful if you know Spanish. Meals, snacks and water available locally. Safe place to come for a trek.the ground is a bit slippery due to the clay texture so maybe scuff your soles up a bit t get added grip
Enjoy!

Buen lugar para caminatas, no sé con precisión cuanto tiempo lleva funcionando las Lomas de Lúcumo, pero como sugerencia seria bueno arreglen un poco mas los senderos, hay zonas en las que los caminos son muy angostos (sobre todo en los que están al lado del "abismo" si queremos llamarlo así) y en la parte final es pura arena y demasiado empinado lo que hace que se te hunda el pie y te llenes la zapatillas de arena o si no bajas bien, bajaras rodando. Lo bueno es que si esta bien señalizado y en algunas partes del camino hay guías que te orientan por donde ir. Ojo la ruta no la empiezas con guía y si quieres uno se paga S./ 50.00 (cincuenta soles) y es por un grupo determinado de personas. También es importante mencionar que hay 2 rutas, una de 5 horas de caminata (aprox) y otra de 3 horas y hay zona de rapel, el día que fuimos que fue feriado por el día de los muertos, no se encontraba funcionando esa área. Finalmente, en cuanto al horario, sólo te dejan ingresar hasta las 13:00 horas.

Good place for walks, I don't know precisely how long the Lomas de Lúcumo has been in operation, but as a suggestion it would be good to fix the trails a little more, there are areas in which the paths are very narrow (especially those next to the "abyss" if we want to call it that) and in the final part it is pure sand and too steep which makes your foot sink and fill your shoes with sand or if you don't go down well, you will roll down. The good thing is that it is well signposted and in some parts of the path there are guides that guide you where to go. Be careful, you don't start the route with a guide and if you want one you pay S./ 50.00 (fifty soles) and it is for a specific group of people. It is also important to mention that there are 2 routes, one of 5 hours of walking (approximately) and another of 3 hours and there is a rappelling area, the day we went, which was a holiday for the Day of the Dead, that area was not working. Finally, regarding hours, they only let you enter until 1:00 p.m.

Un buen lugar para pasar la semana si lo que te gusta es estar al aire libre y lejos de la ciudad. El trayecto puede llegar a ser cansado si no tienes costumbre, pero tienes distintos puntos para poder descansar. Al inicio o terminando el recorrido tienes opciones para comer.
Lamentablemente no está todo verde como años anteriores; sin embargo en las zonas más altas si se aprecia.
Recomendado para ir con la familia

A good place to spend the week if what you like is to be outdoors and away from the city. The journey can be tiring if you are not used to it, but you have different points to rest. At the beginning or end of the tour you have options to eat.
Unfortunately it is not all green like previous years; However, in the highest areas it is appreciated.

El parque ecológico es una buena caminata de alrededor de 3 horas en la ruta corta del recorrido completo. Sin embargo, recomiendo ir con las zapatillas adecuadas para hacer trekking ya que hay trayectos largos de ascensos y descensos que hay que amortiguar bien. También recomiendo ir en la época adecuada para poder apreciar las lomas con la vegetación (alrededor de septiembre). Lo que sí mejoraría es la ruta de descenso final, ya que aún no se encuentra terminado dicha parte del camino y no genera una buena experiencia final. La entrada cuesta 10 soles (adulto) y 5.50 soles (niños). Hay espacio para estacionar en la entrada. Además, podrían mejorar los servicios higiénicos ya que no cuentan con agua (hay que usar balde); igual recomiendo ir ya que en el trayecto no hay servicios higiénicos.
(Translated by Google)
The ecological park is a good walk of around 3 hours on the short route of the full route. However, I recommend going with the right shoes for trekking since there are long routes of ascents and descents that must be well cushioned. I also recommend going at the right time to appreciate the hills with the vegetation (around September). What would improve is the final descent route, since that part of the path is not yet finished and does not generate a good final experience. Admission costs 10 soles (adult) and 5.50 soles (children). There is space to park at the entrance. In addition, they could improve the hygienic services since they do not have water (you have to use a bucket); I still recommend going since there are no toilets along the way.

Buen lugar para hacer una caminata mínima de tres hoRas. El precio de la entrada para adultos es de S/ 10.00 si justifica el precio pues la zona de encuentra limpia, hay servicios higiénicos, zona de estacionamiento y no encontré basura durante el recorrido.
Visite en buena fecha ya que estaba todo verde. Quizás la neblina en la parte superior no dejó apreciar un poco mejor el paisaje, pero vale la pena. Excelente lugar.
Debería tener mejor cuidado la parte de la pintura rupestre, casi no se aprecia.
Cuiden el lugar y no dejen basura en su recorrido.
(Translated by Google)
Good place to take a walk of at least three hours. The price of admission for adults is S/ 10.00 if it justifies the price because the area is clean, there are toilets, a parking area and I did not find any garbage during the tour.
Visit on a good date since everything was green. Perhaps the fog at the top did not allow us to appreciate the landscape a little better, but it is worth it. Excellent place.
The cave painting part should be better taken care of, it is almost not appreciated.
Take care of the place and don't leave trash on your way.

Elena J. De La Cruz Torres — Google review
Un muy buen lugar turístico, en especial es mucho mejor cuando hay neblina "personalmente" ya que entre más vas subiendo, más se siente el calor, lo cual no es tan agradable, pero fuera de eso, el sitio es muy bonito para pasar la mañana o tarde con tu familia, etc.

A very good tourist place, especially it is much better when there is fog "personally" since the more you go up, the more you feel the heat, which is not so pleasant, but other than that, the place is very nice to spend the day. morning or afternoon with your family, etc.
Pachacamac, located in the Pachacámac District of Lima Province, Peru, is home to the impressive archaeological site of the same name.

Went on a Wednesday, mid day..it was winter so... can't really blame them for not being fully open. We could buy a bottle but they wouldn't give us a sample, too bad thier sample glasses and the respective bottles were right there on the bar. Poor hospitality in my opinion. But hey! Maybe on a different day in a better time of year with a more motivated employee you'll have a better experience. Go try... beautiful grounds if nothing else.

Beautiful artesanal winery where they can give you a thorough tour that includes wine tasting
Tsailanza Rayne — Google review
I'll temper this saying we're pretty knowledgeable about wine, but this was definitely quite an interesting presentation of artesanal wine making. The use of clay amforae and the crushing of grapes (yes with feet) was kind of fun. The wine is not good (read bad) as it's syrupy and too sweet. Also the Pisco is not the greatest quality (straight hangover material, so watch out). Also ask about the honey production center nearby, well worth the visit!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, where they give you a guide to the winery and teach you how pisco and wine are made. And at the end of the tour you receive a minimal wine tasting and you can buy wine and pisco too. Although the winery is old, it is very well cared for, preserved and maintains the style of the 1800s. At the end of the tour you can give financial support to the guide, who deserves it because in addition to knowing the history of the site very well, he knows how to explain the procedure of how pisco and wine are made and it is very cordial. Admission is free, as I said we give this financial support to the guide, there are hygienic services and everything is clean.
(Original)
Hermoso lugar, donde te dan un guiado de la bodega y te enseñan como se elabora el pisco y vino. Y al final del recorrido recibes una mínima cata de vinos y puedes comprar vino y pisco también. La bodega pese a que es antigua, esta muy cuidada, conservada y mantiene el estilo de la época 1800. Al final del recorrido puedes dar un apoyo económico al guía, que se la merece porque además de conocer muy bien la historia del sitio, sabe como explicar el procedimiento de como se hace el pisco y el vino y es muy cordial. La entrada es gratuita, como les digo damos este apoyo económico al guía, hay servicios higiénicos y todo es limpio.

(Translated by Google) Bridge that allows access to the town as well as its connection with the Cañete - Yauyos highway.
Its original construction dates back to the middle of the last century and has been replaced by a more solid and secure structure that allows access to the town of Catapalla, where its main square stands out with large trees, a bee farm and a well-known wine and pisco producer.
The bridge provides an excellent viewpoint of the Cañete river and valley where canoeing and adventure tourism is practiced. In its surroundings you will find sellers of excellent seasonal fruit as well as honey and local wine.
Highly recommended to visit with family.

A good tour and activity. We had to weirdly wait 40 mins for one person for our boat to complete its occupancy. When departed, it took 20 something minutes to reach the islands. Take a coat please, the breeze is extremely cold. On the islands itself, if you have never seen penguins and sea lions, it is a great experience. Interesting story around the bird poo as well.

(Translated by Google) Incredible! I was coming back from Huacachina and stopped by Paracas just to dip my feet in the Pacific, but a boat was leaving in 10 minutes and I ended up going. The best thing I did!!! It's a beautiful walk, even dolphins showed up to say "hi".

Incrível! Eu estava voltando de Huacachina e passei em Paracas apenas para molhar os pés no pacífico, mas um barco ia sair em 10 minutos e acabei indo. A melhor coisa que fiz!!! É um passeio lindo, até golfinhos apareceram para dar um "oi".

El Carmen
Neighborhoods
El Carmen District is one of eleven districts of the province Chincha in Peru. Wikipedia.
Candelabro de Paracas, also known as the Candelabra Geoglyph, is a massive ancient figure etched into the sand on Isla Ballestas in Peru. Believed to date back to around 200 BCE, its origins are shrouded in mystery and myth. This 150m high and 50m wide geoglyph resembles a cactus plant or tree and has remained remarkably intact over the centuries.
This place is 14000 years old. Built by Indian lord ananta during Ramayana time. Mentioned by warrior Sugreev from Ramayana.

In order to see it, you go to Paracas and take the ferry. It’s not expensive, but may be a crowd and could be a good hour wait. On the ferry, there will be a
guide, presenting native birds and animals - you will see some penguins somewhere far away, on the rocks, too. “ Candelabro” it’s like a giant drawing on the side of a mountain, like 2000 years old. Expect the ferry to be on the water for a good hour and a half. Nice views of the shore.
Adrian Ispas — Google review
One of the benefits of going with Peru Hop is you get to skip the line and be the first group out at sea! At least... That was our experience!
The candelabro is so beautiful! In Nazca they realized it wasn't aliens, but humans who were creating these shapes in the sand!
This might have been used to help folks navigate the seas :-) but who knows?
Janet Kar — Google review
The color of this water is surreal and the position of this candelabro is unbelievable!
Wesley Santana — Google review
It’s very sad that locals, the tour companies and most importantly us Indians who visit don’t know the origin of this beautiful place. It’s is mentioned in our Puranas. It is the structure created by Lord Indra to mark the eastern direction.

This was cool, but not mind blowing. The origins of the glyph is disputed or unknown. The tour guide on our boat said that it could even be from José de San Martín, one of the main liberators of Peru.
The glyph looks like a cactus plant or a kind of tree or one of those lamps we have at our place ha.
I am surprised by how the glyph has managed to stay pretty intact without any erosion, for hundreds of years.
Found some interesting pelicans around the area, which was cool.
Pravin Prakash — Google review
Magnificent! The only way to experience this sight is by boat so you will need to find yourself a boat tour; check with the hotel you’re staying at as they can help you find a tour. Its amazing to see this “monument” and realize how long it’s been here.

Very nice place just like an introduction on the way to the wildlife islands reservation which is nearby. Also, it is a kinda preparation before the experience over the Nasca lines flight. All of these places are interesting and worthy to visit anytime. The port is a small town where is enough of any opportunities. Thank you 🤩

The Ramayana refers to the Andes Mountains of South America as the Udaya Adri, or "Sunrise mountain". The Andes contain the Paracas Trident, a mysterious geoglyph in the Paracas Peninsula of Peru that consists of three tridents etched into the desert floor. The tridents are each about 1,200 feet long and face the Pacific Ocean, and can only be seen from the air.
The Ramayana also describes the sun rising in the east on the summit of Saumnasa, then passing over Jambu Dwipa, the Indian subcontinent, and settling in the west on Astagiri, or "Sunset Mountain". This makes the island the first to see the first rays of the sun.

I'll never travel to Nazca without this trip planner again
National park where Pacific Ocean currents hit the desert of the South American mainland.
Very tiny beach! Bring your bikini, sun screen and towel - and sunbathe here! The waves are also strong, do it seems fun to run into them (seeing as how some did!). There's a little bit of shade, since there's a huge rock wall creating shade for those who don't enjoy direct sun exposure.
Someone is here selling umbrellas and chairs so you can sit comfortably. There's nothing to eat or drink here, so bring your own!
There are staircases that bring you down to the beach. Once you're at the bottom of the stairs, it will be quite rocky. Do note, you should watch for the waves because it could flood the entrance for a few seconds before the water recedes.
One cool thing here is the charcoal that can be found in the sand. Apparently folks used to mine charcoal is this desert!

The reserve is beautiful. The process of purchasing tickets and boarding the boat for travel is confusing. Thankfully the tour guide was able to the information in both English and Spanish. Visitors should be prepared for about a 15 minute boat ride through open water which can be windy, wet and cold.

PARACAS NATIONAL RESERVE for Sea LIONS, PENGUINS, SEA BIRDS, Lot of water sport activity, desert safaries, near by vineyard visits, with busting activities. People are friendly, Good public tranport avaiable. Food is some what like semi mexican,with less spice.
✨This place is just amazing...I am at a complete loss for words at the pure beauty of this place.
Also a word of advice, take a picture of the map in the entrance and you can find your way easier. There are some places that literally have no cell service (it's part of a true nature experience right) 😁
✨If you have the extra time, do visit here.
Of course, since the part that made it look like a cathedral broke in 2007 but you can still see the cliffs and the animals around. It's so peaceful and the breeze is so great!
Even as you look around all the different mountains have different colored sand over them. I haven't ever seen anything like it in my life! You look around and it's like waking up in a dream...it all looks like a huge painting and it's hard to believe it's real!
Also the staff around were very nice and courteous, only problem we had was the entrance fee they take only soles, plus they do not accept cards. (We were scrambling for change in our car lol) Any of the bathrooms we visited were all clean and well stocked.
Overall, I absolutely LOVED this experience!! I want to go back so badly!

La cattedrale itself isn't very stunning in my opinion, but the view of the coastline is quite something. Rent a taxi and tell the driver to bring you to the scenic spots, it's quite cheap and you can move at your own pace. Expect to be done in 2-3 hours.

It may simply be land, water and air, however, the vastness makes you feel insignificant. Interesting place to visit. I would have wanted to spend more time here. Travelled with Peru Hop. Apparently this area plays a significant role in stabilising the ecosystem. The area is also rich in lithium. Well done to the government for protecting it.

This shot was taken in 1992. After the tour group at Isla Ballestas to see wildlife the boat driver dropped us on shore to camp for the night and we walked through the Penisula to The Cathedral. Worth the trip. I've seen many cliff arches like Durdle door in the UK, Etretat in France, but never as high as the Cathedral in Peru.

El Catador, a popular dining spot in Ica, Peru, is a must-visit for those touring the area. The restaurant offers prompt and attentive service, making it ideal for large groups. The diverse menu features dishes like Chicharron de Cerdo and Fettucine with Lomo Saltado that are both delicious and well-presented. In addition to the food, El Catador also boasts an extensive selection of tasty wines for visitors to sample.

I'm not sure the name of this restaurant is still the same. But, this is where we stopped during our excursion.
When we got here, the place was empty. However, soon after we were seated, the restaurant quickly filled up.
I'm guessing this is where all excursions met for food and wine tasting.
The service was prompt, especially for our party consisting of 13, very diverse people.
We all placed our orders and had our food soon after.
We had the Chicharron de Cerdo, Chicharron de Pollo, and the Fettucine with Lomo Saltado. All dishes came with salsa criollo, ricotto. Along with some French fries.
The food was good and simply prepared, letting the product speak for itself.
For me, the star of the meal was the Chicharron de Pollo! Each bite had so much flavor.
The atmosphere was pretty laid back, even though it got pretty busy.
The wine tasting consisted of 4 wines and 2 or 3 pisco varieties. Everything was pretty tasty.
Be advised that using the restroom here is different than in the United States. For one, there are no paper seat covers for your convenience. Also, toilet paper is not available inside of the stalls. The toilet paper is actually outside of the stall, and you have to get as much as you will need. Additionally, do not flush any paper down the toilet.
Matthew Perez — Google review
Very interesting place to visit in Peru. A wide selection of tasty vines and a good way of tasting them. The prices of dishes in the restaurant are a bit too high for what you get. The taste is okey. The place, if busy, that is most of the time, can be a little noisy and the service in the restaurant doesn't seem to manage it all well.

This place is amazing. I stayed here for 2 nights and 2 days. It's small and you can walk around the whole lake within 20 to 25 mins or even less. Of course during the day there are people trying to take a picture. If you go in the morning you'll be the only person and you have the chance to take lots of pictures. There's lot is lots of food places. The food is good. I brought some delicious wine and I brought shaved 🍧 ice just the ice. I poured the wine into the ice and I was walking about and drinking. I totally recommend you to try it! The wine is like no other place. At night you can explore the lake. I'm not sure during the day time, but at night there wasn't no one taking care of the boats. I saw a group of youngsters getting inside the boats and going to a joyride. I told my friend to do the same. We did. We were on one of the little boats and we were going for a ride and also drinking a little bit. This place is small but there is adventure!

I went here on mid April 2023, I feel like it was a perfect month to visit this place, it was not actually that super hot, the Oasis looks amazing but it was full of tourist and I'm just a bit disappointed because I was actually expecting a real village where local live but when I arrived there it was more like a tourist attraction. There was a lot of souvenir shops, restaurants or bars and some accommodations. And you can also paddle on the lake. My favourite activity there was the Bugee ride. You should not miss that. I didn't expect that it would be super fun and unforgettable.
Huacachina is a small village located in southwestern Peru, near the city of Ica. It is situated in a desert oasis and is known for its therapeutic lagoon surrounded by palm trees. The village's shores are lined with bars and clubs, while its surroundings feature high sand dunes that can be explored on dune buggies or through sandboarding. Huacachina also offers reasonable accommodations, shops and even an oasis library amidst lush foliage.
Viña Tacama is like a dream. We have been there 3 times, the third being for our wedding. This place is absolutely magical. The food is to die for, the wine delicious. We had their wine and food at our wedding and the guests loved it. They also have horses and do horse shows with dancers. The venue is perfect whether for a visit to the restaurant, a wine tour or for your special day :)

Beautiful and large winery! Drive in was a little sketchy on a tiny dirt road, all of the sudden you get to a big gate for the winery complex. We took the 1 hour tour, would’ve loved to do the full tour but they said they don’t have any English speaking guide for that, which is unfortunate, they should’ve specified this on their website. The complex and tour was nice, however the tour guide wasn’t very passionate at all.

I visited Tacama Winery with my parents and we had a very pleasant experience.
The wine tasting with their sommelier was excellent with a good variety of wines which were all very good. The sommelier was friendly and explained a lot about the different types of wines and the tasting process in general.
The stay in their restaurant was great aswell, with good food and good service.
Also the tour around the winery itself, the guide and another small tasting were very enjoyable experiences and I personally learned a lot about wine making, the assortments of grapes and the history of Tacama Winery.
Overall the personal is very well organised, the place is beautiful and the service is excellent. Of course their wines are just as good.
Thanks for the amazing time

Maybe the authorities responsible will take notice? Or maybe not - that's basically the story of Maria's life - convincing the Peruvian government that their own amazing history deserves more attention and support. Nevertheless - go and visit the place it's worth it.

Been here, pay tribute to Maria Reiche, who dedicated her life to research and preserve of the Nazca line. A true great archaeologist.

Small place, but well-kept and interesting had lots of info about Maria Reiche and her studies and passion for learning about and protecting these lines. Some nice pottery displays showing Nasca art. Entry fee of s. 5 for adults, s. 2.5 for kids, about 3/4 indoors, 1/4 outdoors. Desert environment so if you want to spend time in the outdoor part come early or late and bring a hat

It's amazing what this dedicated woman from Dresden did. She singlehandedly put those geo-glyphs on the map, and fought till her last days for preserving them. It's a pity that this museum doesn't receive the attention and maintenance it deserves.

The museum has potential but the surroundings looks bad, not taken care of ,dusty, empty. The inside has cool info and pictures and the whole building has an old nice vibe to it. The bathrooms are so and so. It is incredible to see the work of Maria Reiche. Incredible woman.

Very informative museum about the discovery and analysis of the Nazca lines. Lots of handdrawn sketches and pictures. A cute cat is also roaming the museum.

We were rather disappointed in this museum as it didn't teach anything new or interesting. The cost was 8 soles.

The museum offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the Nazca Lines, their significance, and the research conducted by Maria Reiche. It features exhibitions with interactive displays, photographs, models, and artifacts related to the Nazca Lines. The exhibits provide insights into the history, culture, and theories surrounding these ancient geoglyphs.

A very good alternative to see the Nazca lines without paying god knows how much for a plane trip. It’s 4 soles (~1$) and you can see a few lines from the top of the tower. It’s about 30 km before the city of Nazca, if you come by bus you have to tell the driver you want to get off at the viewpoint (mirador). Then, you have to catch another bus to get to the city center. They should be driving by every hour but be careful after the sunset, it’s getting complicated to catch a bus.

I expected a whole lot more. Of course the Nasca Lines are an important historic site, but it's literally off of the side of a road. Lol. But cool none the less.

Well worth a stop to see three of the lines from the sturdy tower. Some good background information and park people are helpful and friendly.
Porta potties are what you'd expect in the middle of the desert so try to avoid them if you can.
No substitute to flying over the lines, but it's a good introduction to 3 excellent patterns.

Nazca lines their selves are very interesting sight, but as for this lookout... Yes, there are 2 towers for view. But you won't see there much, unfortunately. To see Nazca lines you have to be MUCH higher, than these towers. Drone flights are prohibited there (had to land my one after security notice) and don't allow you to see all terraglifes if you don't know the exact place. That's why I believe the real way to enjoy Nazca lines is excursion with a plane only.

I have to say that after seeing these pictures for a lifetime I was a bit underwhelmed. But they do a good job with the tower allowing you to see what's there

My mate ifti and I went to this historical place guided by our local guide Carlos on a very hot day. The area where Nazca Lines are is scorching hot desert through which Panamerican Highway runs for many miles. First we went on a little hill to see the lines then to another place where there is a tower about 5 stories high. Paid 6 Soles to go on top to see the lines. Saw some figures from the top such as a tree, an arm with two hands and a lizard which is cut in half by the Highway. Seeing lines from the tower is a cheaper version but all the lines and the figures are much appreciated from the air if you are prepared to spend a few dollars. Overall it was a good experience as we came all the way from UK and it would have been a great shame not seeing it.

It was very interesting to see the line up close. I went through a stop on my trip with Peru Hop after the flight over the Nazca lines. Making this comparison of seeing the lines from two different angles was really cool.
For those who cannot take the flight or are afraid of flying, it's well worth it, especially because the plane shakes a lot!! I myself felt a little queasy.

If you don't have the cash, nor the time and interest, to rent a plane to fly you over the lines (which I'm sure is a wonderful experience), taking a few flights of stairs up this Mirador is certainly not disappointing. You can see 3 of the formations from here very clearly, and it costs 6 Soles per person - about $1.75 (as of March 2023).
I wanted to see the lines all my life, and I was not disappointed by the view nor by seeing just the 3. Furthermore, we drove to Nazca by car, and the PanAmerican highway goes right past this Mirador ,so why not stop? See my pictures to get an idea if the view is good enough for you. It was for me!

You can see 3 figures clearly and some other lines although if you go to the Maria Reihe museum you can have a better understanding and the meaning of the lines and figures
The Nazca Desert is home to numerous geoglyphs, which are ancient and mysterious in origin. These massive lines were ingeniously carved by the Nazca people several centuries ago, forming various shapes such as animals, birds, pagan gods, and even an astronaut that can only be seen from high above in an aircraft. The Candelabra Geoglyph on Isla Ballestas is another similar attraction with a height of 150 meters and width of 50 meters.
Definitely seeing those figures from the plain was absolutely fantastic, great experience, you can feel peace being in land looking the firmament.

Definitely go in the plane. I was hesitant to go because pictures posted from the flights didn’t seem that great. But the actual view with my own eyes was crystal clear. I saw every drawing easily and clearly, and easily understood the co-pilots narration (English and Spanish). The two people behind me threw up, but the other 3 of us felt fine. Well worth $65.

A set of biomorphic, phytomorphic and geometric geoglyphs designed and executed on the Nazca and Palpa desert, department of Ica, Peru, are known as the “Nazca lines”.
It is often believed that these lines can only be seen from the sky. For this reason, they have generated all kinds of questions and speculations. Were the Nazca lines dedicated to the gods? Was there possible technology at that time for the magnitude of this work? Were they runways for prototype aviation from the Nazca culture or, beyond, for extraterrestrial beings? Were they made by human hands?
The truth is that the beauty of the Nazca lines can be seen from the top of the surrounding hills, which radically changes the way of understanding them. In fact, this is how the Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejía Xesspe discovered them in the 20th century, specifically in 1927.
Interest in studying these geoglyphs did not spread until 1940, when Paúl Kosok and María Richie, two international researchers, published a series of aerial photographs taken by the National Aerographic Service.
These geoglyphs, that is, these inscriptions on large tracts of land, are enormous in size and can be easily observed from above, which has given rise to countless theories about the purpose of their creation.

I took the airplane tour to see the nazca lines from Paracas/Pisco. Definitely is a great experience.
1. Went to the airport with my passport (they have a cool stamp that you can put in your passport of the nazca lines)
2.Bring a good cámara.
3.The plane we used was great as it has one seat configuration and big windows, that means everyone will see the lines.
4. From Pisco to the NAZCA lines is a 40 minute flight
5. When you arrive to the NAZCA lines the captain of the plane start explaining where are all the figures and he fly by them so you can see them.
IMPORTANT INFO: IF YOU HAVE MOTION SICKNESS OR YOU GET DIZZY VERY EASY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE DRAMAMINE AS YOU WILL GET DIZZY VERY EASY BECAUSE OF THE PLANE MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
You will have the opportunity to see around 12 to 15 figures.
6. Fly back to Pisco Airport will take another 40 minutes.
Making long story short, for me is one of the best experiences but nobody told me of the extreme plane maneuvers so I wasn't prepare to get sick because all the movement, I wish somebody would tell me that.

Will remember this experience fondly. Flying above and witnessing amazing human feats. The plane ride can get bumpy and those with motion sickness should be prepared. Its a spectacular experience and rich history surrounds these plains.

Am besten sieht man die Linien/Figuren natürlich aus der Luft, also aus einem Flugzeug, was allerdings ein kostspieliges Vergnügen ist. Dennoch ziemlich beeindruckend.

Of course, the best way to see the lines/figures is from the air, i.e. from an airplane, which is, however, an expensive pleasure. Still pretty impressive.

We love the Nazca Lines, a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of southern Peru. Created by the Nazca people between 500 BCE and 500 CE, these massive designs cover an area of about 450 square kilometers (170 square miles). Despite many theories, the exact purpose of the Nazca Lines remains a mystery, and researchers continue to explore and debate their significance in the context of Nazca culture and ancient civilizations.

Flight worth any penny. Unforgettable air travel to admire the world-famous carvings of the unknown origin. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the flight at the first day of our stay in Nazca due to windy conditions but didn’t lost any money as it was possible to use the same ticket next day. Definitely great attraction.

It was good except I didn’t feel very well during the flight, if you get motion sickness this might not be the best option. The airport is very hot and you’re waiting for an hour plus.
Carlos was an amazing guide! It was organized through Nazca Trave One hostel. Apparently only 10% of the Pyramids have been uncovered. They have found: 1) human offerings, 2) parrot/monkey offerings, 3) audio system was developed so the leader can speak and everyone at the bottom can also listen, 4) one of the pyramids was 100% made by hand one level at a time, and sand hills were not usd.
Logistically, it's about a 30 min bumpy ride through the outskirts of Nazca. It's cool though, you get to view all the farmland (cactus fruit farms, avocado farms, lemon farms, asparagus farms). There's also an unguarded cemetary where you can walk up freely to view the remains of the buried (human hair, pottery, bones - I saw a hip bone!)
There's a bathroom onsite, but I do recommend you to bring your own toilette paper!

Amazing history at this place. Very interesting how the time of flourishing and greatest prosperity was 100ad to 300ad and then destruction cataclysmically around 400ad. Fascinating correlation with the history and timeframes documented in the Book of Mormon. Very large pyramids partially restored. Long dirt road to get there

We didn’t have much information about the side but our host recommended it. We drove with our own car and had a bit of a difficulty because google maps wanted to take us a road that was closed but with a bypass we made it. It’s easier to take the second entrance when you come from Nazcas. It’s a bit longer but the road is better. The side is really impressive and will give you and additional view about the Nazcas culture.

Great secluded place, note that you have to make 14 km off track each way. The off track is on the plateau where the Nazca glyphs can be found, but they are not readable from the ground.

Great place and a must do in Nasca but you need a good guide who takes time and is not rushing. We've done the tour with Get2Peru and would definitely recommend it.
