Day 17: Lima, Nazca Lines Overflight and Ballestas Islands by Private Boat
Transfer to the airport (Chevrolet Suburban, 45 minutes) and departure on a Grand Caravan aircraft for the Nazca Lines overflight.
The Nazca drawings lie on the coastal plain south of Lima. On the plateau: more than 800 straight lines up to tens of kilometers long, more than 300 geometric figures, and around 70 images of animals and plants: spider, hummingbird, monkey, condor, lizard, llama, and others. Some are about 370 meters in size. The scale only becomes clear from above: the lines stretch across the empty surface without crossing the terrain. This private Nazca Lines flight lasts about one and a half hours.
After the flight: departure on a Cessna Grand Caravan to Pisco and transfer to Paracas (25 minutes). Boarding a private yacht and heading to the Ballestas Islands boat tour (3 hours, drinks and snacks included). From the boat you observe sea lions, pelicans, and Humboldt penguins.
Upon returning to Pisco, you’ll set off for the Nazca Lines on a VIP tour aboard a private plane. Over the course of an hour and a half in the air, you’ll spot many of the principal figures.
Afterwards, you’ll fly to Lima, where you’ll be met and transferred to Belmond Miraflores Park. Overnight at the hotel.
