Nazca Geoglyphs and dune buggy trip!

Patricia_C, Jan 2026
The operator picked us up really early from our hotel and took us directly to the Nazca Lines Airport. While we waited for our turn to fly, we explored the nearby shops. When they called our names, we were five passengers, the pilot, and the copilot. Please note that they do not allow large backpacks in the small planes. You can only bring one small purse or bag. This is to avoid overloading the plane with unnecessary weight. The flight over the geoglyphs was amazing! The pilot helped us find each figure and explained each one to us. He also told us about their history and the surrounding area. Afterwards, the pilot took some time to take pictures with us and the plane. After the flight, we were taken back to Ica and the meeting point for the dune buggy trip. Our group had about 12 people in it and we were dropped off at the bottom of the dunes of Huacachina. We walked up to where our dune buggy was located and took off from there. The ride was a lot of fun, with lots of fast turns, going up and down the dunes, and even flying over the dunes a couple of times! We then did some sand boarding down a few different dunes, which was also a lot of fun! Finally, we drove over to a clearing from where we watched a spectacular sunset. Throughout the dune buggy trip, we had a lot of opportunities to take pictures and videos. The operator even let us climb over the dune buggy for some cool pictures. We were glad to have brought our ski goggles, which protected our eyes from the sand a lot better than sunglasses would have. Yes, you finish the day with sand everywhere in your body, but that is a tiny price to pay for such a spectacular and fun experience! Highly recommend this combo tour!

The whole day was an awesome experience. Our driver Jorge was outstanding, he was patient picking us up and was so kind. His driving was smooth and safe. After an amazing plane ride viewing the Nazca Lines, he took us to a nice restaurant for lunch. Then he drove us to Huacachina where we met up with Sam and did dune buggy/sand-boarding. Over all it was an awesome experience, one we will never forget. Book this excursion if you want to support the local tourism industry look no further, book this one!

Amazing experience!

Ethan_S, Sep 2024
Absolutely incredible experience. Sam was very attentive and informative both before and during our trip; helping us with the tourist taxes and proving detailed information about the itinerary and, even checked up with us after which was very much appreciated. Was both our first times flying in a small plane, and although was a little scary at first, it was very enjoyable and seeing the Nazca lines from above was absolutely amazing. After the flight, the driver took us to a lovely lunch spot with delicious food, ready for the dune buggy and sand boarding. Very much recommend for those seeking both stunning views and an adrenaline rush.

Malcolm_V, Aug 2022
Irving came on time. He is very outgoing and answered all the questions we had. We could not have had a better operator. After seeing the beautiful Nazca lines, he took us for lunch to a very good restaurant. Then we went for the dune buggy experience and sandboarding. It was sooo much fun!

Very satisfied with the experience

Carlos_L, Jun 2025
The flight over the lines was great, we had a documentary problem (my fault) and they resolved it quickly and diligently. It does not have the food included, for our liking is a point in favor, they give plenty of time for you to find something to your liking and eat quietly. The afternoon activity was also fun and well organized.
