Among the most famous figures are the hummingbird, the monkey, the spider, the condor, and the whale. The best way to truly appreciate these incredible designs is from the air, as many of them are so large that they cannot be fully seen from the ground.

Flights over the Nazca Lines usually depart from the Nazca airfield and are operated in small aircraft.
