Tour Itinerary
Flight Time Confirmation – Approximately 2 Days Before Departure
The airline will confirm your final flight time approximately two days before the scheduled date. For this reason, guests must keep the day as flexible as possible and should not arrange other tours, transfers or time-sensitive activities around the flight. Flight schedules may change due to weather, aircraft operations or local aviation conditions.
Hotel Pick-up or Meeting at Pisco Airport
Depending on your booking arrangement, we will either collect you from your hotel in Paracas or Pisco or meet you directly at Pisco Airport at the confirmed time. Guests must bring their original passport, as it is required for airline check-in and identification.
Airport Check-in & Mandatory Fees
Upon arrival at the airport, you will proceed to the airline counter for check-in. Passenger details and travel documents will be verified, and any applicable airport charges, tourist taxes or entrance fees not included in the tour price must be paid before boarding.
Pre-Flight Procedures & Boarding Lounge
After completing check-in, passengers will proceed through the required airport procedures and enter the boarding lounge. The airline team will provide any final instructions regarding seating, safety and boarding.
Scenic Flight Over the Nazca & Palpa Geoglyphs
Board the aircraft and begin the scenic flight from Pisco over the vast desert landscapes of southern Peru. The complete flight lasts approximately 1 hour 40–45 minutes, including the journey towards the archaeological zone and the aerial observation of the principal geoglyphs.
During the flight, you may observe several of the best-known figures and formations, including the Monkey, Hummingbird, Condor, Spider, Astronaut and other geometric designs, as well as additional geoglyphs in the Palpa and Nazca areas, depending on the authorised flight route.
Observation-Only Experience
This is primarily an aerial observation experience, rather than a guided archaeological tour. There is no dedicated tour guide on board providing historical commentary. The pilots will normally indicate when the aircraft is approaching the principal geoglyphs so passengers know where to look and photograph.
Return to Pisco Airport & Flight Certificate
After completing the aerial circuit, the aircraft will return to Pisco Airport. Following landing and disembarkation, passengers will receive a flight certificate as a souvenir of the experience.
End of Service
If hotel transfer is included in your booking, our team will meet you after the flight and return you to your hotel in Paracas or Pisco. Guests meeting directly at the airport will conclude the service after the flight procedures are completed.
