NAZCA LINES AND GEOGLYPHS - 01 DAY
DAY 01 (LINES AND GEOGLYPHS): Without a doubt, to enjoy and observe the Nazca Lines, it is preferable to see them from the air, a space from where the perspective of the figures is unique and unrepeatable. To do this, the visitor can make a trip in a plane. For the overflight it is recommended to make a reservation in advance, mainly during high seasons (June-August). The aircraft that fly over this attraction have a qualified guide who will comment on the observed figures with the most important information of each of them.
List of Nazca lines and geoglyphs:
