If you're visiting Nazca, this is one tour you simply can't miss. Whether you choose to fly over the Nazca Lines or not, we highly recommend this unique experience.
Unlike standard tours, we go beyond Nazca and take you to the Llipata viewpoints in Palpa, where you'll discover incredible geoglyphs such the famous Family figures carved into the surrounding hills. Thanks to recent discoveries by Yamagata University using advanced technology, this area continues to reveal new ancient geoglyphs.
The we will visit three of the most iconic geoglyphs from a 20-meter observation tower donated by the Japanese University, where you can clearly admire the Hands, the Tree, and even the famous Lizard, which was divided in half when the Pan-American Highway was built before anyone knew the geoglyph existed.
Our immersive experience also takes you inside the only authorized area of the Nazca Pampa, allowing you to truly appreciate the scale, mystery, of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What To Expect
Geoglifos de Palpa
The viewpoints are located about 45 minutes from the city of Nazca, in the district of Palpa, and our first stop could be the Llipata viewpoint. tour includes a visit to the Llipata viewpoint, where you can observe several impressive geoglyphs from a tower. This lookout provides a spectacular view of the Palpa Lines, which are considered even older than the Nazca Lines. It is important to highlight that these figures are not included in the Nazca Lines flight, making this a special and unique experience that complements your journey through the region’s ancient wonders.
Nasca Lines
We will then continue with two additional viewpoints that showcase the Nazca Lines. One of them is a metal tower over 20 meters high, donated by Yamagata University, from where you can clearly observe three of the most iconic figures: the Lizard, the Hands, and the Tree. From these strategic viewpoints, you will appreciate the scale, precision, and mystery of the geoglyphs in a way that perfectly complements the flight experience

5.00The information and recommendations that Mr. Juan Carlos gave us were really very important before our choice of the circuits to travel on the Nazca and Palpa Lines, as well as those of the guide who very kindly put at our disposal. Very happy with the unforgettable visit to the Lines and will definitely reapply for the other services offered by Get2Peru.

5.00We really enjoyed this experience seeing the Nazca Lines and the Palpa geography. We visited the cat geography in Nazca as well as others in Palpa. Amazing sites visible from the ground. We also ascended the Nazca viewing tower to see more of the geography and lines. Great knowledgeable guide Juan. Would recommend.
Nice day including pickup and optional trip to museum

5.00Arturo was an excellent guide. Very informative and friendly. He spoke clearly and slowly in Spanish which was great for my practise. He also knew a little English too. He picked me up at my hostel and drove us to a few locations with towers so we could see the lines. As an optional extra he took me to a museum about the German woman who dedicated her life to the lines. This cost 8 soles. The museum was small and simple but there were some interesting displays and the room where she lived and all it's paraphernalia was preserved.
Impressive

5.00The Palpa Lines can be seen from the road, but you have the option of climbing a viewpoint to see from a better angle. They are less famous, but also very interesting and relatively close to the Nasca Lines. Nasca has a larger mirante from where you can see 3 drawings. It is impressive to see that from the road level you can see nothing and as you go up the floors of the viewpoint, the images form in the middle of the desert.
Excellent tour with excellent tour guide

5.00The Nazca lines are truly amazing & the Maria Reiche house museum is well worth a visit; if you intend to visit Peru I highly recommend that you visit this area - you will not be disappointed. I also recommend that you organise your tour through Get2peru.com. For us we had some confusion with the tour date we booked but a lady called Mily at this tour operator ensured, at very short notice, that we had a personal tour guide to bring us on our tour; Carlos was a lovely guy and very knowledgeable. Thank you again to Mily for all the trouble she went to, above and beyond the call of duty, and to Carlos for the great tour.....
Highly recommended

5.00Excellent Juan Carlos is a pilot and gave us a lot of information to have an excellent experience in the flight and recommended us to take the ground tour as a complement to the experience of flying them and it was the best decision , the flight takes 30 minutes and the ground tour 3 hours approximately arrived at 6 am without any organized plan or where I will arrive we were besieged by street vendors posing by taxi to the airport and who offer you everything and then we find out that they use the story of the plane with a supposed seat in the middle that does not exist! Right there operates the family business the restaurant where you can eat rest and use the wifi while we wait to be picked up for the tour that starts at 7 am at 10 left us the airport where Juan Carlos is waiting for us we flew around 11 am and we were back at noon with enough time for lunch before taking the 2 pm bus to Huacachina. Highly recommended.
Mindblowing
