Frequently Asked Questions
From Pisco it's US$ 350; from Nazca it's about US$ 100. What you buy for the difference is roughly eight hours of bus travel and a whole day of your trip. If you're staying in Paracas and short on time, it pays for itself. If Nazca is already on your route, fly from there.
US$ 350 per person, minimum one passenger. That covers the transfer from Paracas to Pisco airport, the flight, and the return to Paracas, plus entry fees and taxes. The whole thing takes 1 hour 40 minutes.
There's no fixed departure. We agree it with you in advance because it depends on wind conditions at Pisco airport, and we confirm the time the day before or that morning. Book with a buffer and don't schedule it for the day you travel onward.
Yes, both ways. We collect you in Paracas, take you to Pisco airport, and bring you back after landing. No buses and no arranging your own transport.
Yes. Departing from Pisco, the route includes the leg out to the Nazca pampa and the leg back, so the full experience runs 1 hour 40 minutes rather than the 30 minutes of flight time you get taking off from Nazca aerodrome.
The main figures of the Nazca pampa — condor, hummingbird, monkey, spider, astronaut and others — and, depending on the day's routing, some of the Palpa figures too. The pilot announces each one and banks toward both sides of the cabin.
It can happen, mainly during the turns over the figures. Eat light, take a motion sickness tablet half an hour before, and look at the horizon between figures. The legs out and back are straight and level and don't bother anyone.
Same answer as any Nazca overflight: DGAC tightened the rules after the 2008 and 2010 accidents — two pilots on commercial overflights, stricter maintenance and mandatory passenger weigh-in. Flights from Pisco operate under the same regime. Ask which airline operates it and confirm it's DGAC-certified before booking anywhere.
Passport — it's required at the airport — plus sunglasses, a camera and a light layer for the early morning wait on the ground. You won't need binoculars; the flight is low.
