Where to have breakfast in Nazca: the stop you can't miss

If you're driving the route between Lima and Arequipa, sooner or later you pass through Nazca. While many only stop for gas and move on, there's one place worth the two-minute detour: El Adriano, right across from the main square.

Lines first, breakfast after

A tip few people give you: if you're going to fly the Nazca Lines, do it early and on a light stomach —the planes are small and the flight is bumpy. Have a big breakfast afterwards, back on the ground and genuinely hungry. That's when a good breakfast really hits.

Affordable, varied breakfasts and the best coffee in the region

At El Adriano we take breakfast seriously: a varied menu at affordable prices and, above all, specialty coffee made by people who know their craft. See it all on our menu.

On the main square, not on the highway

Another local tip: don't stop for breakfast right on the Pan-American Highway. Drive the few blocks into the Plaza de Armas —the heart of Nazca— and eat in peace. More in Passing through on the Panamericana.

Open from 7:30 AM (and you can let us know ahead)

We open early, at 7:30 in the morning, with travelers in mind. To arrive to everything ready, message us on WhatsApp and we'll have your table and the menu waiting.

We're at Callao 793, across from the main square in Nazca. Staying the day? See things to do in Nazca.
