- Nasca Lines - After picking you up, we will go to Nazca city to flight around the famous and enigmatic Nazca Lines. They are a group of very large geoglyphs hand formed/scratched out to make very strong depressions or shallow dirt removals in the dark soil of the Nazca Desert to reveal the very white under layer of rock or clay. These were carved out sometime between 200 AD and possibly 600 AD. There is no written record of the exact dates, but these seem to be a possible time frame. There is no a definitive reason for the carvings; however, numerous theories have been advanced: sculptures to be seen from the surrounding mountains, a big work project to worship they ancestors, or possibly a kind of message for their god so as to have water since the area is dry and it almost does not rain. You will watch the most representative figures such as the hummingbird, spider, monkey, geometrical forms and other mysterious forms. \n\nNote: if you don’t like long distance trips, consider another option.

Amazing experience, great guides, but long day. - We had a great time at Nazca and Huacachina. Both places were beautiful and unique experiences. The flight is relatively short, the pilots sway over the most important lines and say a few words. The oasis is a wonderful place, the buggy drive is quite exhilarating and action packed.
Be aware: it starts super early. We were picked up on time at 4 am. We arrived at 10 pm the same day. It can be tiring and I exhausting. The flight over the Nazca lines is in a cesna, small plane for max of 6 people excluding both pilots. The flight is a bit unnerving, wobbly and can make you feel sick. The buggy drive can get a bit rough at times (but fun all throughout!) The sights are worth it.
Overall:
Our driver and guide were both absolutely wonderful people and I had a great time all day long. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience for anyone with a short amount of time and a high curiosity.

A Worthwhile Journey! - The drive to and from Lima was very long but the trip is still very worthwhile! The Nazca Lines are absolutely amazing and the trip was made special by how knowledgeable our guide, Alex was. 5/5 great experience!

Nazca is everything you hoped for, and the dunes and oasis are interesting surprises! - Nazca is everything you think it will be! The dunes and oasis near Ica are also amazing and worth the time invested!

Great tour! - Had a great tour with our guide Pamela. We chose the Pisco flight option (rather than the longer overall Nazca flight option). The drive to Huacachina was pleasant, and Pamela gave us excellent information about the country, the countryside, and the areas we were passing through.
Huacachina was fun! We arrived early in the day and ours was the first dune buggy out there, so we essentially had the place to ourselves!
The flight from the Pisco Int'l Airport was quite pleasant until we reached the Nazca lines. I'm glad we followed Pamela's advice and didn't eat or drink a couple of hours before the flight; otherwise, it would've been unpleasant. Be prepared for steep banking and turbulence over the lines - it's the price you have to pay for the aerial view.
After a pleasant sea-side meal in Paracas, the drive back was uneventful despite the usual Lima traffic.
An outstanding tour. Thank you, Pamela and Lima Highlights Tours!

Amazing Trip - What a great trip!! It was an early morning, and a lot of time in the van, but it was so worth it!! The sand boarding and sand buggy was so much fun, and the Nazca lines were fascinating!! Alex was the perfect guide. She was so personal and a wealth of knowledge. She entertained us for most of the trip. I have to give a huge compliment to our two drivers Jose and Rudolfo. It was definitely a challenging drive at times and they were amazing. I highly recommend this tour!!

An amazing driver and guide - The adventure starts extremely early (4am). Jonathan, our driver and Susan, our guide did an an amazing job. It was an 18 hour day. Jonathan was a hero with his driving. I can not say enough about him. Flying over the Nazca lines and sandboarding in the dunes are well worth the trip.

strongly recommend if u have entire free day in Lima - My friend and I enjoyed the private full day tour a lot - you get to enjoy viewing Nazca lines up in the air and then afternoon activities of walking around the Huacachina Oasis and sand dune fun activities.
Despite a long drive and super early pick up at 350am from Miraflores, our tour guide Lucas and driver Yan(not sure abt spelling) provided us the best experience.
The four seater was very spacious and comfortable. Besides basic information about Peru Lima, Lucas gave us details about the Nazca lines and background of the Oasis and answered other questions we had on the road. He was super patient waiting for us to take tons of photos.
Nazca line aeroplane could be quite dizzy so | already took some motion sickness
preparation pills to help mitigate any potential nausea (the guide will remind u to bring passport for boarding).
Then lunch Lucas brought us to a good local restaurant for Peruvian food (price not included in the package)
In the afternoon we came to Huacachina Oasis for a short walk followed by Sand dune buggy and sand boarding which were super fun. Just need to take sufficient sun protection as the sun can be quite scorching.
Overall, highly recommend this private tour if you have an entire day in Lima as the tour starts from 350AM hotel pick up to 830PM drop off. Highly recommend Lucas as tour guide

Amazing trip - This was a long journey starting at 3am and ending back in our hotel at 10pm. I have so much respect for the driver and our guide who were amazing from start to finish. Make sure to take Dramamine for the flight! El cerdito for lunch was one of the best meals we had the entire trip. The sand dunes buggy ride and sandboarding were amazing too.
