Following this coastal experience we will head to the Pisco airport for the highlight of the trip the scenic flight over the Nazca Lines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The aircraft performs specific maneuvers so everyone can see the geoglyphs clearly, which can cause mild motion sickness. We recommend having a very light breakfast and staying hydrated. Our team at Aura Andina Travel partners with top-rated airlines that follow strict safety protocols to ensure a smooth experience.

The Peruvian coast is beautiful year-round. Summer (December to March) is perfect for sunny desert days in Huacachina. Regarding wildlife, the "Little Galapagos" (Ballestas Islands) offer great sightings of sea lions and Humboldt penguins every day, though mornings can be breezy and cool.

Layered clothing is key. A windbreaker is necessary for the boat tour to the Ballestas Islands. For the desert and flight, bring lightweight clothes, high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Most importantly, you must bring your original passport to board the Nazca Lines flight.

The flight price does not include the local airport tax (TUUA). This small fee must be paid in cash directly at the Nazca airport.
