My husband and I had an incredible time at Palcoyo Mountain with Juan and visiting a Quechua family. Gisela provided excellent service from the start. Highly recommend!
I booked this tour with some apprehension, not knowing what to expect in a foreign country. I had nothing to worry about. Michael does an exceptional job. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Cusco Native.
Don't Hesitate - Book with Cusco Native! We had a trip of a lifetime. Cusco Native didn't disappoint, with informative guides, excellent organization, lovely hotels, and great meals. Michael was a fabulous tour organizer, and Rumi was exceptional with the information he shared.
This was the trip of a lifetime. I will spend the rest of my life trying to top this experience. Everyone should go to Peru at least once and everyone should book their tour with Cusco Native.
Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about traveling to Nazca:
No special permits are needed to visit the town of Nazca or its main attractions. Just bring a valid ID or passport, especially if you plan to take a flight over the Nazca Lines or enter any ticketed archaeological sites.
A good amount of time to spend in Nazca is typically one to two days. One day is often enough to see the Nazca Lines (overflight) and perhaps one other attraction like the Cantalloc Aqueducts or the Maria Reiche Museum. Two days allow for a more relaxed pace and the opportunity to explore more of the surrounding area, such as the Cahuachi ruins or Cerro Blanco.
Nazca is less crowded than other destinations like Cusco or Machu Picchu, but flights and tours can still fill up. Booking 1–2 weeks in advance is usually enough, though earlier is better if you’re traveling in the dry season (May–October).
Yes! Many attractions are family-friendly and don’t require strenuous walking. Some activities, like the Nazca Lines flight, may have age or health restrictions, but ground-based tours (like Cantalloc or the museum) are great for all ages.
Nazca is dry and sunny most of the year. The best time is from April to November when skies are clear, especially for flights. Early mornings are ideal for exploring before the desert heat sets in.
Most of the main attractions are accessible by car and require only light walking, though some sites have uneven ground. The viewing tower is easily reachable, and many tours can be adapted to your needs—just let us know in advance.
When you travel with us, you're not just ticking off sights; you're connecting with the culture, guided by locals who care deeply about sharing their heritage. We handle the logistics so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the experience.
