What you can expect

The tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, taking you to the mysterious Chauchilla Cemetery, located 30 kilometres from the city of Nazca.

Chauchilla Necropolis is unique in Peru, as it allows you to witness mummies in their original tombs, a living testament to the ancient burial traditions of the Nazca civilisation. Not only will you see human mummies, but also offerings, personal belongings, and even mummified animals, immersing you in a fascinating journey back in time.

The arid climate of the Nazca desert has played a key role in the incredible preservation of these remains, allowing you to explore this enigmatic site just as its inhabitants left it centuries ago.

Be amazed as you discover how the Nazca buried their dead in a fetal position, always facing east, accompanied by their most prized possessions—a reflection of their deep spiritual connection and beliefs about life after death.

To conclude this extraordinary journey, you will visit artisanal pottery workshops where you can admire how talented local artisans continue to use the same ancient techniques developed by the Nazca, creating unique pieces that reflect their rich cultural heritage.

Afterwards, we will return you to your hotel.
