Highlights
  • Nasca Lines - Day #1. After picking you up from your Lima Hotel, we will go to Nazca city to flight around the famous and enigmatic Nazca Lines. They are a group of very large geoglyphs hand formed/scratched out to make very strong depressions or shallow dirt removals in the dark soil of the Nazca Desert to reveal the very white under layer of rock or clay. These were carved out sometime between 200 AD and possibly 600 AD. There is no written record of the exact dates, but these seem to be a possible time frame. There is no a definitive reason for the carvings; however, numerous theories have been advanced: sculptures to be seen from the surrounding mountains, a big work project to worship they ancestors, or possibly a kind of message for their god so as to have water since the area is dry and it almost does not rain. You will watch the most representative figures such as the hummingbird, spider, monkey, geometrical forms and other mysterious forms.

Can’t miss it! - We had a great experience thanks to Lima Highlight Tours. the places we visited were unique, the SUV we were transported in was very comfortable and clean, and the restaurants we had lunch at were delicious. We first started our tour visiting the Nazca Lines. It was so interesting to learn about the Nazca culture and about Marie Reiche. Jonathan, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable, and explained many things to us before we went up in to the air to see those interesting figures that have remained like that over time. We also visited the Cantalloc aqueducts in Nazca, very interesting. Our experience in the Huacachina Oasis was also unforgettable. Watching the sunset over the dunes was amazing, and the dune buggy ride and sand boarding was pure adrenaline. We felt in a roller coaster driving over those dunes! The Paracas National Reserve was full of beautiful contrasting landscapes given by the ocean, desserts, cliffs and wild birds. We drove buggies to be able to contemplate all the beautiful landscapes. Great experience! Since the coast guards were not allowing boats to go to the Ballestas Islands that day, we ended up going to a Pisco Vineyard to taste the different types of Pisco in Peru. Nice stop! We totally recommend this tour to everyone. At the moment of doing our booking, Doris responded promptly to all our questions. Alejandro, the driver, made sure we arrived safe and on time to every destination. He was also very friendly. Jonathan, our tour guide really made sure we had a great experience during our tour and learned from those regions we visited. It’s so nice to find tour guides that are so passionate and knowledgeable about their culture. The next day we arrived from the tour, we decided to take a Lima city tour with Lima Highlights and it worked out great as well. Jonathan organized everything for us and we were taken to the airport at the end of the day to finish our visit. We had a memorable time, thanks again Lima Highlight Tours!

Must do!!! - Traveling privately with Lima Highlight Tours added many memories to my trip to Peru. The Nazca Lines were impressive. Our guide, Lucas was very knowledgeable and took us to the aqueducts on land and some other Nazca ruins before our overflight In order to deepen our knowledge of this ancient culture. On our way back to lima he also stopped at a cat that was drawn by a culture previous to the Nazcas. The dune buggy ride at the Huacachina oasis was an adrenaline rush as was the sand boarding. The paracas national Reserve was filled with visitas of the desert, cliffs, beaches and ocean. We also saw fossilized algae since this was an ancient ocean. The SUV was very comfortable which is important because it is a long trip. The driver, Alonso, drove safely and We were able to sleep during the longer drives. I also didn’t airport transfers and a city tour with lima highlight. They are very accommodating and helpful. They speak wonderful English and I felt safe at all times.
