Find My Perfect TripNazca is approximately a 6-hour drive away from Lima. There are many public bus companies operating the Lima to Nazca route. Once you compare prices and select the company you will use, you will have to find the company’s terminal and make your way there by taxi since there is no central bus terminal in Lima.
Peru Hop busses offer comfortable and safe trips to Nazca, with free pickups and drop-offs. There are also free additional stops and tours on the way to Nazca which will make your trip much more worthwhile!
It is believed that the Nazca Lines were some form of religious worship associated with the availability of water for crop growth (Nazca is one of the driest places in the world). Whatever their reason, these lines are as fascinating as they are mysterious to both historians and tourists and were officially made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994. The lines vary in size from 30 metres to 200 meters and often take on the form of animals such as monkeys, lizards and sharks among others. The lines are best viewed from above, and there are many tour companies offering flights over the lines (the lines stretch for about 80km). These tours last up to 30 minutes long and will cost approximately $80, but you will get some wonderful pictures and the best view of the lines possible.
Alternatively, there is a viewing tower that helps you see up to 3 of the lines from an elevated point. This stop is included in Peru Hop passes and makes for a good photo op for those hopsters who decide not to book a flight.
*If you’re taking Peru Hop and wish to include the flight tour in your schedule, they can assist you in reserving seats on a private shuttle service (cost: $15) that departs Huacachina DAILY at 7:30 am and can take you directly to Nazca for the flight tour at 11 am.
