Question 4

What do I need to bring for the Nazca Lines flight?

Accepted Answer

You must present an original physical passport at check-in, as copies and digital versions are strictly rejected by security. Bring local currency in Peruvian soles to pay the mandatory airport fees, along with motion sickness medication to handle the sharp banking turns of the aircraft.

Question 5

Are the Nazca Lines accessible for wheelchair users and the elderly?

Accepted Answer

The 30-minute scenic flight requires no walking beyond boarding the aircraft, making it highly manageable for elderly visitors. However, manual and power wheelchair users must coordinate boarding support with flight operators directly. The 13-meter roadside viewing tower is not wheelchair accessible due to its steep stairs.

Question 6

Can I see the Nazca Lines without booking a flight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can view a few figures from the ground by climbing the 13-meter metal viewing tower located on the Panamericana Sur highway. For an entrance fee of S/3 to S/7, this platform provides an angled perspective of the Hands, the Tree, and the Lizard's tail.

Question 7

How long is the flight over the Nazca Lines?

Accepted Answer

Flights departing directly from the airport in Nazca last 30 to 35 minutes. If you choose to fly out of Pisco or Paracas, the total flight time extends to between 90 and 100 minutes.

Question 8

Do people get motion sickness on the Nazca Lines flight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the small aircraft execute sharp banking turns to allow passengers on both sides to see the geoglyphs, which frequently causes severe motion sickness. To prevent nausea, avoid eating a heavy breakfast before your flight and consider taking preventative medication.
