Weight limit:
The airlines in Peru have a weight restriction of 200 pounds (90 kilograms) per passenger for safety reasons. The weight restriction for two passengers is 400 pounds, or 180 kilograms. Before making a reservation for the tour on our website, if your weight exceeds these restrictions, kindly email us to let us know. If the airline needs to fly with one empty seat, you might have to pay an additional fee. We can frequently avoid having to charge you extra by placing heavier passengers on a flight with lighter passengers.
Overflight from Pisco city
Because it can save travelers up to 6 hours of travel time, flying over the Nazca Lines from the airport in Pisco has grown to be a very popular option for tourists visiting Peru. On this tour, passengers will have the opportunity to fly in a Cessna Grand Caravan and view 12 of the famous Nazca Lines. A pilot and a co-pilot are present onboard every one of our flights due to safety concerns, and this particular type of aircraft has a fantastic reputation around the world.

The Enigmatic Nazca Lines:
The Nazca lines and geoglyphs, which were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, are now a popular tourist attraction in Peru. A master plan has been required to ensure the long-term preservation and stewardship of the site due to conservation challenges, such as tourism management and the possibility of flooding from El Nio. In order to promote plan implementation through institutional collaboration and community engagement, which will be a next crucial step to ensure that these mystifying remnants of the past continue to fascinate future generations, the lines and geoglyphs were added to the 2012 World Monuments Watch list.
