Skip a long bus ride and pack a full day of flightseeing, sandboarding and pisco tasting into one private tour from Lima. See the Nazca Lines from the air, tear down Huacachina’s dunes, and finish with vineyard flavors from Ica’s valley.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Lima before the sun crowds the highway, the coast shrinking behind as the bus pushes toward the ochre dunes of Ica. By midmorning the aerodrome hums with small planes; within minutes you’re looking down on giant figures cut into desert crust—hummingbird wings, a spider’s legs—geoglyphs that demand a slow, aerial gaze.

Wildlife
History
The Nazca Lines were created between roughly 200–600 AD and remain an open question in archaeology; Ica’s valleys developed viticulture during colonial times, producing pisco.
Conservation
Overflights and ground access are regulated to reduce erosion and protect geoglyphs—stay on marked paths and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Fly early for clearer skies
Book a morning overflight—thermal activity later in the day can make the plane bumpier and visibility worse.
Hydrate for the desert
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water; desert air and sun exposure dehydrate faster than you expect.
Bring motion-sickness aids
Small aircraft turns and dune-buggy jumps can unsettle sensitive travelers—consider pills or acupressure bands.
Footwear for dunes and town
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for dune climbs and a sand-friendly pair for boarding; sandals aren’t ideal on hot sand.
SPF 30+ sunscreen
Protects skin from intense coastal-desert sun during long outdoor stops.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Needed for dune climbs, buggy transfers, and uneven surfaces around vineyards.
Motion sickness medication or bands
Helpful for the small-plane overflight and bumpy dune-buggy rides.
Light windbreaker and sunglasses
Windproof layer and eye protection for cooler, windy mornings and dusty dune runs.
