About this experience
Enjoy a wonderful overflight over Nazca Lines, to see different enigmatic images in the land.
Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants, made up of lines. The individual figurative geoglyph designs measure between 0.4 and 1.1 km (.2 and .7 mi) across.
The figures vary in complexity. Hundreds are simple lines and geometric shapes; more than 70 are zoomorphic designs of animals such as a hummingbird, spider, fish, llama, jaguar, monkey, lizard, dog and a human. Other shapes include trees and flowers. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them

Upon arrival, our guide will assist you at the Nazca airport with check-in. For this aerial tour, we use a small Cessna aircraft, which has spacious room for five people, each person with a window seat. Our pilot will give each participant a Nazca Lines Map that will help you to recognize the figures from above. Among the figures, you will see various animal images, such as a monkey, a spider, a dog, and a human being. Likewise, we will also find birds, such as a hummingbird, a parrot, a heron, and other creatures. Additionally, you will also see geometrical shapes and hundreds of straight lines crisscrossing the desert surface. Take into account that the pilot will fly the plane in circles over each Nazca figure.
