    Great day trip!

    This was such an incredible day outside of the city! We were picked up very early but it’s so worth it. Jonathon and Jason were extremely friendly and accommodating. The private car was very comfortable and we were able to get some sleep in before arriving at our first destination. Everything was handled for us, and we were put on a Nazca flight in no time. It seemed like others that booked it themselves were doing some back and forth - so everything was truly taken care of! It was so incredible. Then we were taken to a nice restaurant in town for lunch (not included in the price). After that, we were taken to the Huacachina Oasis to go on a dune buggy and sand board! Once again, everything was taken care of ahead of time, and we were on the next buggy out - no waiting at all! It was awesome. The drive back to Lima does take a while, but we got back earlier than I expected. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the Nazca Lines and Huacachina Oasis.

    Excellent day in Nazca and Huacachina!

    Our guide Jan, was an archaeologist and so had some great insights about the Nazca lines. Our two drivers were excellent, each had to drive for approximately 7 hours. It made for a very long day but it was worth it! The Huacachina dune buggy experience was great fun too!

    Response from the operator: Dear customer, we are glad to know you have enjoyed the tour with us. We always do our best at providing unforgettable travel experiences. Thank you for your visit. Kind regards

    The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How much does The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $485 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 The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) take?

    +

    Plan for about 18 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 The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 63 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 The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private)?

    +

    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 The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 18-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private)?

    +

    Around 22 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 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) 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 The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private)?

    +

    Included: Nazca Lines Overflight (from Nazca airport - Shared flight); Knowledgeable Tour Guide; Airport Taxes & Tourist Tickets; Pick up and Drop off from Lima: Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro or Lima Center; and Private Air-conditioned Transport. Not included: No meals included: breakfast, lunch or dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 92 listed pickup locations in and around Lima. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to The Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis from Lima (Private) if the weather is bad?

    +
