How Much Does It Cost to Visit the Nazca Lines from Lima or Arequipa?

Hello traveler!

One of the most common questions travelers ask when planning a trip to Peru is: How much does it cost to visit the Nazca Lines?

In this guide we explain the typical costs when traveling to Nazca from Lima or Arequipa, including transportation, the Nazca Lines flight, taxes, and food.


🚌 Bus from Lima to Nazca

A comfortable bus from Lima to Nazca usually costs between 85 and 115 Peruvian soles.

One of the most reliable companies is Cruz del Sur. Their buses are known for comfort and safety, offering:

  • Comfortable reclining seats
  • Air conditioning
  • Onboard restrooms
  • Modern two-level buses

There are cheaper bus companies available, but the price difference is usually around 20 soles. For such a small difference, we recommend traveling comfortably and safely.


🌊 Stop in Paracas or Huacachina on the Way

If you are planning to visit the famous Huacachina Oasis or Paracas National Reserve, you can combine these destinations on the way to Nazca.

Many travelers take an early morning bus from Lima to Paracas to visit the Ballestas Islands. After the tour, you can take another bus in the afternoon to Ica or Nazca.

One advantage of traveling with Cruz del Sur is that they allow you to store your luggage safely while you explore Paracas.

Of course, if you prefer a smoother experience, Get2Peru can organize the entire itinerary for you.
