What to expect
We will pick up all our passengers at their respective hotels in Ica and surrounding areas, then we will transfer to the province of Nasca. Our first stop will be at the María Reiche Museum, where we will learn the story of a German woman who dedicated more than 50 years of her life to the study and conservation of the Nazca Lines. We will also visit her room where she spent most of her life, overcoming difficult moments because she was always alone for most of her life. We will also visualize a mummy in perfect condition which still has its skin and even has its entire body full of tattoos. Finally we will visit the tomb of María Reiche.
Our second stop will be at the Nasca metal viewpoint, where we can appreciate some of the majestic figures of the Nasca Lines (Tree, Toad with hands and Lizard) from a considerable height.
Aerodromo Maria Reiche
We will move to the Maria Reiche Aerodrome in Nasca, to then proceed to check in, and then make the overflight of the Nasca Lines. Sometimes there are flight delays due to weather conditions (fog), so passengers will have to wait until the aerodrome gives the order to fly. In that free time, passengers can walk around the aerodrome facilities, look at souvenirs and even buy a coffee while waiting for the final flight time. Generally flights start at approximately 9:30am. At the end of the flight, a flight certificate will be given to each passenger.
Taller de Cerámica Jenny
