One of the most popular tours in Nazca, and one that does not require much time or effort, is a visit to the Chauchilla Cemetery. This fascinating archaeological site offers a unique opportunity to learn about the ancient Nasca culture, often compared to the Egyptians for their efforts to preserve the bodies of their dead. Guided by deep spirituality and a belief in the afterlife or reincarnation, the Nasca carefully buried their deceased with everyday objects and, depending on their political or social status, dressed them in garments that ranged from simple to highly elaborate.

Located just 28 kilometers from Nazca, the cemetery is easily accessible by paved road, making it a convenient yet truly eye-opening experience. Walking among the open tombs, you will see remarkably well-preserved mummies, textiles, and artifacts that reveal much about the social structure, rituals, and worldview of this millenary culture.

Join us on this tour with a knowledgeable bilingual guide who will bring the history of the Nasca people to life and give you a deeper understanding of their legacy.
