Everything You Need to Know Before Flying Over the Nazca Lines

Hello traveler!

Are you planning to visit the Nazca Lines and want to be fully prepared for this once-in-a-lifetime experience? You’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we share practical tips and insider advice so you can enjoy one of the most fascinating flights in the world.

At Get2Peru, we have been operating Nazca Lines flights for more than 20 years. The founder of Get2Peru.com is also a pilot who flew over the Nazca desert for many years and always shares these important tips with our travelers.


1️⃣ Bring Your Passport

The most important rule before flying the Nazca Lines is to bring your original passport. The Maria Reiche Airport in Nazca follows the same security procedures as any other airport.

  • Passengers must show their original passport
  • Copies are not accepted
  • Driver’s licenses or other IDs are not valid

If you forget your passport, unfortunately you will not be allowed to board the aircraft.


2️⃣ Prepare if You Are Sensitive to Motion

During the Nazca Lines flight, the aircraft tilts to both sides so passengers can see the geoglyphs clearly. If you are sensitive to motion sickness:

  • Consult your doctor before traveling
  • Bring motion sickness medication
  • Avoid heavy meals before the flight

These small steps can make your Nazca flight experience much more comfortable.


3️⃣ Tips to Avoid Motion Sickness During the Flight

  • Focus on the geoglyphs outside your own window
  • Avoid looking through your companion’s window
  • Limit the time looking through your camera lens
  • Look at the horizon between figures

Following these tips will help you enjoy an incredible flight above the Nazca desert.


4️⃣ Should You Book the Nazca Lines Flight in Advance?

Yes, definitely. Booking your Nazca Lines tour in advance helps organize your experience better.

When you book with Get2Peru, travelers can receive:

  • Bilingual assistance
  • Important travel information
  • Pre-flight briefing about the Nazca figures
  • Help during check-in at the airport

Understanding the flight route helps travelers recognize the geoglyphs easily during the flight.


5️⃣ Visit the Nazca Lines From the Ground First

One tip we always recommend is visiting some of the Nazca Lines observation towers along the Pan-American Highway before your flight.

Seeing the lines from the ground gives you perspective and makes the aerial view even more impressive.


✈️ What Figures Will You See?

  • The Hummingbird
  • The Monkey
  • The Spider
  • The Astronaut
  • The Whale
  • The Tree and Hands

These incredible geoglyphs were created more than 2,000 years ago by the Nazca civilization.


🌞 Best Time to Fly the Nazca Lines

Flights usually operate in the morning when wind conditions are calmer and visibility is clearer. Nazca enjoys sunny weather almost all year, making it an excellent destination for scenic flights.
