Top 10 Private Tours in Nazca, Ica Region
Taking a light aircraft flight over the plains 200 miles south of Lima is the best way to appreciate the Nasca Lines, the World Heritage-designated geoglyphs etched into the stony desert surface. The creators and meaning behind these startlingly precise abstracts and animal figures remain a mystery, but their 1939 discovery launched a steady swarm of tourists upon this tiny town – accessible via bus from Lima, Cusco and Arequipa.

Good service (attention, transportation, food etc), the nicest communication and super memorable locations/activities. The excursion is a MUST when in Lima. The little things I didn’t think I would enjoy - I DID, like pisco tasting in the end of the day. Thank you so much Lion!
4. Private Tour To Nazca Lines From Lima
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Nasca Lines – The Sacred Landscape The lines are known as geoglyphs – drawings on the ground made by removing rocks and earth to create a “negative” image. The rocks which cover the desert have oxidized and weathered to a deep rust color, and when the top 12-15 inches of rock is removed, a light-colored, high contrasting sand is exposed. Because there’s so little rain, wind and erosion, the exposed designs have stayed largely intact for 500 to 2000 years. Scientists believe that the majority of lines were made by the Nasca people who flourished from around A.D. 1 to 700. Certain areas of the pampa look like a well-used chalk board, with lines overlapping other lines, and designs cut through with straight lines of both ancient and more modern origin.
Inclusions: 24-hour-support, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Private tour, Professional guide, Transport by private vehicle with A/C, 30 - 45 minutes Flight over the Nazca LineS

After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!

We ordered the tickets through TripAdvisor, feeling confident it was legit. We scheduled a noon flight on the 4th. On the 3rd we got calls from Samantha and tour guide Brady. They said being able to select a time for the flight was "referential only". That we needed to be ready for pick up at 8:15am on the 4th. As a transplant recipient I have a regime of pills, a wait time and eating and said that was why we had scheduled the noon flight so that would not be disrupted. No bending. I truly think our hotel had six people to go and they just decided to make it a single shot. Weather was beautiful all day, no "high winds" advisory they said "may" take place. So customer service was critically lacking and my confidence in booking another TripAdvisor tour diminished. The flight, exactly 30 minutes from plane loading to touch down left three of the six with bags filling through the flight. The 1st officer and "guide" could not be understood in English and we missed the compass altogether. We enjoyed the steep banking. Mixed bag. The flight was with Aerodiana.
