Seeing the Nazca lines was the biggest thrill of my April 2024 Peru trip. I had been to Peru about 25 years prior, but back then had not been able to include Nazca and Lake Titicaca in the itinerary, so this trip was to make up for that. The Nazca lines have been such an iconic site for me since I was in grade school, so I'm feeling very satisfied to visit them.  Seeing the three figures from the roadside viewing tower was nice, but I had to get the full experience with the flight.   My flight was midday, and it all went off without any problems. I flew with AeroNazca, but I'd echo what others have said about the provider probably not making much difference, with taxes & all it cost about US$100.  I was surprised how hard the figures were to spot from the air -- at least I had to be right on top of them before I could see them.  Getting to see the whole set: spider, monkey, spaceman, plant, condor, hummingbird, etc. as well as the geometrical shapes and lines really impresses you with how much area the ancient Nazca covered with these figures.

 

If you're using PeruHop to get around, their standard bus itinerary would force you to overnight in Nazca in order to do the flight. However, for a slightly additional fare, you can get on a morning shuttle to Nazca from Huacachina, do the flight (and nearby aquaducts and pyramids if you are so inclined), then catch back onto the regular bus in the evening.  This was very worth it to me. I did talk to a couple PeruHop passengers whose buses had to skip the scheduled viewing tower stop to make up for other delays. I'd have been crushed and angry if that was going to be my only chance to see the lines and their scheduling made me miss it.
