Chauchillas Cemetery

Discover the Chauchilla Cemetery, a necropolis over 1,000 years old located 28 kilometers from the City of Nazca. At this archaeological site, you can observe mummies in their original tombs, naturally preserved by the arid desert climate. Although the site was affected by grave robbers in the past, today it serves as a vital destination for understanding the funeral rituals of the pre-Inca civilizations that inhabited the Las Trancas Valley centuries ago.

Detailed Itinerary: Day by Day

Day 1: Nazca: Chauchilla Cemetery

The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. We will travel along the Pan-American South Highway until we reach the pre-Inca cemetery of Chauchilla, which was discovered many years ago by tomb raiders. They took all the valuable items such as gold and silver jewelry, ceramics, textiles, and other objects of value, leaving the tombs exposed to the desert environment.

Today, visitors can still observe skeletons and skulls, as well as some well-preserved tombs with mummies that remain in good condition along with some of the objects that were traditionally buried with them in ancient Peru. Ancient Peruvians believed that after death people passed into another life, which is why they were buried with their personal belongings.

After exploring the cemetery, we will return to Nazca. On the way back, we will visit the workshop of a local ceramic artisan, who will explain the process of making his beautiful pottery. Later, we will also stop at a site of informal mining, where we can observe how miners work continuously. Finally, we will return to Nazca
