Travel Guide

The Nazca and Palpa Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs in southern Peru in the Nazca Desert and Palpa Valley. These lines, created by the Nazca culture between 500 BCE and 500 CE, consist of various large-scale drawings of animals, plants, and geometric shapes etched into the desert floor.

The duration of the Nazca and Palpa Lines flight tours can vary depending on the specific tour package chosen. Typically, the flight tours last around 30 to 45 minutes, providing ample time to observe and appreciate the different geoglyphs from the air.

Most flight tours to the Nazca and Palpa Lines depart from Nazca, accessible by road from major cities like Lima or Arequipa. If you are staying in Nazca, you can reach the flight departure point in town. The tour operator usually provides transportation to and from the lines.

The Nazca and Palpa Lines are best viewed from the air, as their enormous size and intricate designs are most visible and recognizable from above. While it is possible to see some of the lines from specific viewing platforms or towers, taking a flight tour is recommended to fully appreciate the scale and detail of these ancient geoglyphs.

Age restrictions for flight tours can vary depending on the tour operator. Some operators may impose a minimum age limit for safety reasons, typically around six or seven years old. Before booking, you must ask the tour provider about any age restrictions.

Due to the small aircraft used, weight restrictions are typical for the Nazca and Palpa Lines flight tours. The weight limits may vary depending on the aircraft and tour operator but generally range from around 220 to 240 pounds (100 to 110 kilograms). It’s advisable to check with the tour operator for their specific weight restrictions.

Yes, photography is usually allowed during the flight tour. Most operators have large windows in their aircraft, providing clear views of the lines, and you are free to take photos or videos to capture the experience. However, following the tour operator’s guidelines regarding camera usage during the flight is essential.

Eating a light meal or snack before the flight tour is advisable, as the aircraft’s motion may affect some individuals. If you are prone to motion sickness, taking appropriate precautions, such as taking motion sickness medication or wearing acupressure bands, is recommended. Following the tour operator’s safety instructions and listening carefully to the pre-flight briefing is also essential.

Flight tours operate year-round, but the best time to take the excursion is generally during the morning, when the weather tends to be more explicit, providing better visibility of the lines. However, it’s important to note that weather conditions can vary, and it’s always advisable to check with the tour operator for the most suitable time to ensure optimal viewing conditions.

We have found it convenient for clients to pay at the Nazca airport in cash or with a card, knowing they will receive the experience of the overflight.

Maras and Moray + Pachamanca Easily the best tour experience I had during my trip to Peru. I highly recommend Kondor Tours as the customer service is top-notch. James responded to my queries almost instantly each time and was very helpful. We were even treated to a can of cusquenia beer each when we visited the office! Our guide Alfredo was absolutely amazing and we were fortunate to have him as our guide for the tour. He is very passionate about his job and shared so much valuable information with us. He has a very candid character and we were very comfortable throughout! I highly recommend requesting for him as your guide (the best we had while touring Peru for 3 weeks). Also, I would say opting in for and additional traditional peruvian pachamanca meal experience must not be missed. The community people were very warm and gracious hosts and it is eye opening to witness the preparation of such a traditional feast normally done only for special occasions like weddings. We even had time for dancing! Two thumbs up for sure!

3-day Choquequirao Trek We took a three-day private group trek to Choquequirao as a family of five. Kondor Path Tours organized a pick-up and drop-off in Urubamba instead of Cusco and did an extra stop at the Saywhite archeological site. Everything went very smoothly during the entire trip, meals and accommodation were as expected or better. The trek itself is quite demanding (particularly in three days), but the nature/ views/ Choquequirao/ dearth of tourists largely compensate. Anyway, we were looking for a physical challenge! Our guide Oron was great. Explaining, motivating, solving potential problems/ demands. We would definitely recommend Kondor Path Tours.

Proffecional company and perfect guide Kondor Path Tours are so proffecional and easy to work with. We went with them on the 2 days short Inca trail to Machu Picchu with our three children. The correspondence was great and everything was perfectly planned in every detail. Our guide Alfredo was so friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to be around! Thank you Kondor Path Tours - we couldn’t have asked for more!!

Trip to Rainbow Mountain Excellent experience!! Our guide Odon was prompt with pickup time and extremely friendly. The drove to rainbow mountain was smooth. We did the horseback ride up the mountain, and Odon was right there with us. The actual hike up, he provided support, laughter, and information about the region. Amazing experience with an awesome guide. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Alittle bit of everything We had a last minute change of plans when it came to our tour. We were supposed to visit the rainbow mountain but with the recent protesting we called to see if we could change last minute and they were very accommodating. Odon and Fernando were amazing! They took us to see multiple attractions and made us feel very at home. And kudos to Renee for the amazing driving. I would highly recommend using this company for a tour. We will definitely use them if we ever come back!

Family vacation Kondor path tours arranged a couple of private tours on our last vacation in Peru. Our first tour was the Rainbow Mountains and the next day we did the sacred Valley Tour. The administrative services were excellent, we met at our hotel the day before our tours and our head guide, Fredy, explained everything perfectly, including what to wear and bring for each tour. On the tour days, our guides (Fredy and Juan Carlos) and driver (Juan Carlos) were great! very knowledgeable, considerate about our party, always helpful and ready to answer questions and meet the expectations (completely different expectations because we had different ages in our party (from 11 to 69 years)) of each party member. The rainbow mountain is awesome and is is really helpful to go with a guide that knows about the area, but also about hiking!!!

Excellent guide who stays with you for the entire day The Vinicunca one-day horse tour was fantastic. The friendly and informative Freddy guided us for the entire bus ride and mountain trek. He knew where to stand to get the best photos and made everything fun and accommodating. The horse ride up made it much easier to enjoy the final hike. Lunch was large and tasty. Door to door service.

Awesome Service and Tours Fernando and Patricia were SUPER responsive - usually responded to emails within 10 minutes!!. The arrangements they made for Cusco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and surrounding areas were awesome. They were waiting for us at the airport and did everything we asked them. Our guide for the four days was Herberth and driver was Juan Carlos. Both were SUPER SUPER great. Juan Carlos was such an amazingly pleasant driver with cute stories. He also was a very safe driver. Herberth was very knowledgable and helpful. Took us all over the places with details about the history and details. We had friends who were not able to climb much and they accommodated us all. On the day we had planned to do rainbow mountain we did not feel great and emailed Fernando at 5am and he responded within 5 minutes with other options for us to do that day. Overall, if you are going to Peru and want to visit the historic sites, you SHOULD go with these people. They are SUPERB!!
