“Lo mejor de todo el tour es la ruta en buggy, el trayecto en barco malo y peligroso, no pudimos ir a las islas Ballestas por el temporal, y el piloto era bastante temerario para la seguridad del turismo debido al estado del mar y a la velocidad que iba. NO RECOMENDABLE ESTA EXCURSIÓN”
Lima to Nazca and Huacachina in one long day: Lines overflight, dune buggy and sandboarding, plus an easy sunset at the oasis.
“The tour day was very long, and was well worth the effort. Sonya was an informative and friendly guide. The Nazca Lines flight is not for the faint of heart or for those who are prone to motion sickness. And the Huacachina buggy ride feels like a roller coaster ride. We saw beautiful places and…”
