What you'll see and do
Nasca Lines
After picking you up, we will go to Paracas 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.

The perfect Nazca Lines trip
This was an amazing experience and the perfect way to explore both the Huacachina Oasis and the Nazca Lines in one day. One of the biggest advantages of this tour was the itinerary. We were able to leave at 6:00 a.m. rather than the 4:00 a.m. start offered by many other tours, and we returned just before 8:00 p.m. instead of closer to 10:00 p.m. The day was planned exceptionally well, with regular breaks along the way, so we never felt like we were spending too much time in the car. It was a long day, but it never felt overwhelming. Another major benefit was taking the Nazca Lines flight from Paracas, which saved us from having to spend an additional 6–7 hours driving each way. Felipe and Ronald are fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and great to talk to throughout the day - they made the entire journey comfortable and enjoyable. Ronald is incredibly informative about Peru and each place we visited, and he took care of every detail, from tickets and taxes to lunch and keeping everything running on schedule. In the Huacachina Oasis we could not have the sand dune adventure – but we went to a reserved area and it was truly amazing!! Thank you, Ronald and Felipe, for this opportunity. This tour exceeded our expectations. The combination of incredible sights, excellent organization, knowledgeable guides, and a personalized experience made it worth every penny. Ronald and Felipe – if you get to read it -THANK YOU! You are exceptional - “mucho mas major” jejejejjejee . 😊😊😊 We’re so grateful for the memories and would happily recommend this experience to anyone visiting Peru!

The whole experience was...
The whole experience was amazing. Especially our guide Ronald and our driver Philip. Ronald has a huge knowledge about Perú geography and History, Philip safely and efficiently navigates the road chaos. Sandboarding and riding on the dunes are unforgettable. The flight over Nazca was wonderful, but not suitable for people with motion sickness.
Response from the operator: Dear Katarzyna, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience and enjoyed the Nazca Lines, sandboarding, and the exciting ride through the dunes. We truly appreciate your kind words about Ronald and Philip. We’re proud of their dedication to providing informative, safe, and memorable experiences for our guests. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with them. Thank you for choosing Chasky Xpedition, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru! Best regards, The Chasky Xpedition Team

The BEST experience!!
This is the BEST trip from Lima to see both the oasis and Nazca lines. Our driver, Felipe, was incredible at navigating traffic and creating a smooth, pleasant experience. He is also very knowledgeable and helpful and punctual. We enjoyed chatting with him and our guide. Our guide, Ronald, made sure we had a smooth day and was so informative about Peru, about our locations, and handled everything from the tickets to taxes to lunch to making sure we were on time everywhere we went. The itinerary is also phenomenal as we could start at 6:00 am instead of 4:00 am like other tours. We were also back just before 8 pm as opposed to 10 pm as other tours. We never drove for more than a few hours without a break and the day was broken up nicely so we didn’t feel like we spent too much time in the car. Ronald also was our photographer and videographer while we did the sand dunes tour and he did an amazing job capturing the fun of sand dune surfing and the beauty of the oasis. I truly cannot say enough about this experience as my husband and I had the best time. I recommend pants and long sleeves (hiking/sun clothing) for the sand dunes tour to protect against sand and sun. I also recommend a neck gaiter or handkerchief to cover your nose and mouth during the sand dune part. Those were so helpful. The Nazca flight from Paracas City meant we didn’t have to drive 6-7 hours one way to see the Nazca lines. We were able to see 2 major attractions (Huacachina Oasis and Nazca lines) and still only be gone for around 14 hours as opposed to 18+. Some of the group tours of both are actually 2 days which is fine if you have the time. We did not, so this was the best choice for us. Additionally, we enjoyed the visit to the vineyard and the short tour of how the wine and pisco are made. The tastings were fun and informative. The lunch there was very good as well. We had a pisco sour there that was excellent! Truly, this was a remarkable day and worth every bit the amount it cost. When you consider the time saved and the personalized experience, it is absolutely worth it! HUGE thank you to Ronald and Philip (Felipe) for making it a wonderful day! They definitely made the experience that much more enjoyable! We wish you all the success and thank you for making it such a memorable experience for us!
Response from the operator: Dear April, Thank you so much for your incredible review! We are truly honored by your kind words and delighted to hear that you and your husband had such a memorable experience with us. It’s wonderful to know that Ronald and Felipe helped make the day smooth, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We’re especially happy that you appreciated the thoughtfully designed itinerary, the personalized service, and the opportunity to experience both the Nazca Lines and Huacachina in a comfortable and efficient way. Thank you as well for sharing such helpful tips for future travelers. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we will be sure to pass along your lovely comments to Ronald and Felipe. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Peru someday! Warm regards, The Chasky Xpedition Team

Long day, but worth it!
Thank you to Ronald and Philippe. A great, full day. Tour guides were well informed, on time, kept the day going well and made me feel welcome and safe. Sites were amazing. Honestly I could have skipped the Pisco tasting (a bit touristy)- had I known, I am sure the company would accommodate. So , don’t hesitate to ask. Highlight, of course, the Nazca Lines. Once in a life time experience. Be prepared for long drive to and from if you do the tour from Lima.
Response from the operator: Dear Jeri, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that Ronald and Philippe made you feel welcome, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. We’re also glad that the Nazca Lines lived up to being a once-in-a-lifetime experience and that you enjoyed the other highlights of the tour. We appreciate your feedback and are always happy to tailor experiences to our guests’ preferences whenever possible. Thank you for choosing Chasky Xpedition, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Peru! Best regards, The Chasky Xpedition Team

Wonderful day
Felipe and Ronald were absolutely wonderful. Ronald was incredibly well versed in history, geography, and anything you wanted to know about Peru, so if you like an informative adventure it is a must. The car and drive was long but very pleasant. The sand dunes were magical and super fun. The Nazca lines are super interesting, but follow their guide and take some nausea meds if you are probe to motion sickness since the plane will turn a lot. However, Ronald and Felipe are great if you need any time to readjust. Lastly, the winery was amazing aswell. They walked you through the winery explaining the process in english and ribald translated for us in english. Then, we got to taste some wine and play a fun trivia game where I won a free Rosé! Overall, a super fun day with amazing service.
Response from the operator: Dear Neil, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that Felipe and Ronald helped make your experience both informative and enjoyable. From the Nazca Lines and Huacachina dunes to the winery visit, we’re glad each part of the journey became a special memory for you. We truly appreciate your kind words about their knowledge, care, and attentiveness throughout the day. Thank you as well for sharing helpful tips for future travelers. We’re thrilled you even went home with a prize from the winery trivia game! We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in Peru. Best regards, The Chasky Xpedition Team

Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis cost?
+
Prices start at $650 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis?

Does Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Private Tour to the Astonished Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis offered in?
+
