Traveler Reviews
What travelers say after flying over the Nazca Lines with us.
Seeing the Nazca Lines from the air was extraordinary, but Cahuachi made the experience much more meaningful. Walking among the ancient adobe structures helped us understand the civilization behind the geoglyphs.
An excellent combination of flight and archaeology. The views over the Nazca Lines were spectacular, and our private guide at Cahuachi brought the history of the ancient Nazca people vividly to life.
The flight was unforgettable, but visiting Cahuachi afterwards completed the story. Seeing the Lines from above and then exploring the ancient ceremonial center was a fascinating way to discover Nazca.
