IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Maximum Permitted Weight:

• The airplanes used to fly over the Nazca Lines have a maximum weight per passenger. Generally, the maximum weight per person is 100-110 kg (220-240 lbs), but this may vary according to the airline and type of aircraft.
• If a passenger’s weight exceeds this limit, it is recommended to contact the agency to discuss options or adjustments.

Weight distribution:

• Because light aircraft have a limited capacity, the total weight of passengers must be balanced to ensure the safety of the flight.
• Agency personnel may request that passengers be distributed in a specific manner on the aircraft according to their weight to ensure a balanced flight.

Weighing upon arrival:

• At check-in, a weigh-in will be performed to assign seats appropriately. This is standard procedure to ensure the safety and balance of the aircraft.
• It is important to be honest with the weight at check-in to avoid delays during boarding.

Recommendation for People with Above Average Weight:

• If a passenger exceeds the maximum recommended weight, he or she may be assigned an additional seat or offered a different option, such as splitting the flight into several groups.
• Some airlines may charge a supplement for an additional seat if the weight exceeds the limit.
