Cusco Cusco to Nazca lines

What is the best/quickest way to get from Cusco to Nazca lines. We're going to be there in July. Is driving an option at all? If yes, how long is the drive? Thank You all in advance.

Driving is not an option as it is a very long way. The best thing to do is hop a flight to Lima where you then transfer to Ica where you get on a small private flight over the lines. It is worth it but take some anti-motion meds if you are prone to motion sickness. Ica is the area that had a major earthquake a couple years ago. The airport is fine but you can still see a great deal of damage. From Lima you get on Aero Condor Peru to get to Ica.

The earthquake happened last year.

Aerocondor doesn't exist anymore (bankrupt)

Bus from Cusco to Nasca.

Option: fly to Arequipa (LAN Peru) and then take a bus to Nasca
or
fly to Lima and then bus to Nasca

Check buses a.o:
Cruz del Sur
Ormeņo

You may want to have a look at my Peru transportation pages for that (websites and more info).

How things change in this financially starved world! I was on AeroCondor just last June.

Not only financially. Also regulatory issues forced Aerocondor to close down.

Not surprising considering how they didn't pay much attention to their schedule.
