Highlights
  • 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.

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.

Great trip, be pre[pared for a long drive. - Be prepared for a long long day. I would not recommend for kids. Picked up up 3:30am by the guide. Stop for a quick breakfast and then continued on to the dune buggy ride. This was a lot of fun and helped break up the drive. Be prepared for some additional fun sand boarding. Then a long drive to the airport and a great flight and experience viewing the Nazca Lines, bring your passport. Stop for a fantastic lunch and then the 6 1/2 hour drive back to Lima... I wish there was something to break up the drive on the way back BUT overall a great trip.

Worthwhile Trip for Adventure Seekers and Explorers Alike! - It’s hard to use words to describe the exceptional level of service our guides, William and Ernesto, provided to me and my girlfriend. From the moment of pick up, they made sure our safety and comfort were of the utmost importance. On top of their knowledge on local culture/history, William and Ernesto handled the logistics surrounding the 16 hour tour like pros. Not a second felt boring or tiresome. For me, a freebie given of the trip was being able to catch a glimpse into the daily lives of locals on our drive over, something we didn’t get to experience solely within Lima. The Nazca line tour and Dune buggies in Huachachina were the perfect balance of excitement and culture. Truly a once a life time experience. Definitely recommend!

Super experience and some tips - I had a greatest experience with a special guide who has fine kindness and hospitality and a fantastic driver who can drive fast and safe. Almost way of this tour is in a car, it means driver’s skill is very important. I recommend you prepare some cookies and sandwiches for your breakfast and lunch, then you can eat them on the way to next destination, it helps you to come back your hotel early. Of course, you can get some each time you take a rest at gas stations. Anyway, I’m proud of me who decided taking this tour!
