From Lima: Nazca Lines and Ica Desert Day Trip with Lunch

1. From Lima: Nazca Lines and Ica Desert Day Trip with Lunch

Begin your journey of the Ica Desert with a bright and early hotel pickup, where you will be greeted by your guide who will take care of you throughout the day.  Head straight to Nazca, whereupon you'll stop at Kilometer 50 of the South Pan-American Highway to enjoy a breakfast consisting of juices or hot drinks, accompanied by artisan breads from the area. Next, head to the airfield in Nazca, where you'll pass through security before boarding a small plane to view the famous Nazca Lines from up above. Sit back and relax on your 45-minute flight, as you view the incredible collection of giant geoglyphs — designs or motifs etched into the ground — that were created by the ancient Nazca culture. Tuck into a delicious traditional lunch upon landing before heading to your final stop, the Huacachina Oasis. This natural lagoon is surrounded by palm trees and desert dunes, from where you can watch the sun setting over the sand. Pump up your adrenaline and hop into sand buggies, and sandboard down the perfect dunes before returning to Lima late in the evening.

Pick up at 10:30 from your hotel in Ica and Huacachina town to drive towards Ica Airport. Meet your representative and go to the check-in zone to wait for your flight.

What people are saying about Ica

This tour is unforgettable. Jonathan, the owner of the company, accompanied us personally. His archaeological knowledge is enormous. He fulfilled our every wish and made sure that this experience will be unforgettable for us. The history of Peru takes place many years before the time of Jesus. It is a biological phenomenon that the Nazca lines are unaffected by weather conditions. The experience in the desert was adrenaline :) and unique. I can only recommend this tour to everyone and I assure you that you will never forget it! Thank you Johnathan, we will be happy to come back and do more tours with you! Love from Sevginar & Murat

You’ll spend more hours traveling than doing activities but it’s so worth it. The sand dunes were amazing, the buggy drivers are experts, and the flight to see the Nazca lines is amazing as well. Make sure you do the flight on an empty stomach. A lot of people got dizzy on the flight so be careful. Do the sand dunes first before the flights as it can get super hot so doing it early is better.

Very punctual in the pick-up, we went to Ica and had breakfast there and then continued to Nazca where we took the overflight, which was a nice experience. Then a restaurant in Nazca which offered a variety of dishes, mainly fish and shellfish, and we finished with a buggy ride. All well structured, exhausting day.

I love the experience. Our guide Luis was the best. They were on time, he answered all of my questions about Peru. Both the driver and the tour guide were polite. I could have asked for a better experience

Superb day with an exceptional guide and driver Highly recommended!!
