1.Ballestas & Huacachina Day Trip w/ Nazca Lines Flight

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 117 reviews · 19h 30m · from $600Our pick

Review of Lima’s long day trip to Ballestas, Nazca Lines, and Huacachina, with practical advice on cost, timing, flights, and what to expect.

“Once in a life time trip! The longest day trip ever (got up 3 am, guide and driver pick up at the hotel by 3:30 am, back to the hotel around 11 pm). Drove probably more than 1000 km. It’s amazing how to combine three sites so precisely and timely for the entire trip. The guide, Christian B was great, knowledgeable, and courteous. The driver was amazing, since some part of the road were not in good shape. Overall an excellent choice, highly recommended!”

2.Ballestas, Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 82 reviews · 14 to 19 hours (approx.) · from $550

Review of Lima’s Ballestas Islands, Nazca Lines flight, and Huacachina day tour, with practical advice on timing, cost, motion sickness, and value.

“We had a wonderful day and overall great experience. We were able to see a lot in a very short amount of time, but the pace felt rushed throughout the day. We even ended up paying our tour operator and driver extra just so we could stop for food at the end, as no time had been carved out for meals. That said, the tours at each location were truly 5-star and a definite highlight. We just wish we had a bit more time to enjoy each stop without feeling so rushed. Hats off to our driver—he was incredibly fast!”

3.Nazca Lines & Ballestas Islands Private Tour Bus&Flight from Lima

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 77 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $818

Review of Lima’s 14-hour Nazca Lines and Ballestas Islands tour, with flight tips, wildlife highlights, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“It was a very long day as expected with mainly driving/boating. You will be in a 10 seat airplane and have 20 seconds to look for the Nazca Lines and take a picture if your lucky. You will not have an opportunity to see all the lines. Wear a nose/mouth mask on your journey to Ballestas Islands because the bird poop really stinks! You are also in a small boat with no bathroom or overhead so watch out for bird poop droppings. Basically you are paying for the transportation service and the plane and boat people are your guides.”
