We offer one of the most popular and fascinating archaeological tours in Nazca: a visit to the Chauchilla Cemetery, with the added option to explore the pottery-making process in a local workshop. The entire experience takes approximately 2 hours.

Chauchilla is one of the largest and most significant cemeteries in the region, where ancient Nazca people were buried with a variety of offerings, including textiles, pottery, and other goods. Over the centuries, the cemetery has been partially excavated by tomb robbers (called 'huaqueros'), who have stolen many of these artifacts. Despite the damage caused by looting, the open tombs still offer valuable insights into the burial practices of the Nazca culture.

As you walk through the site, you will be able to see the remains of the ancient mummies, preserved for over a thousand years, as well as the intricate burial methods that were used. The visit provides a unique opportunity to understand the Nazca people’s views on life, death, and the afterlife. One of the most intriguing aspects of the tour is learning about their advanced embalming techniques, which were employed to preserve the bodies of the deceased for eternity, giving us a rare glimpse into their spiritual and cultural beliefs.
