About this tour


The tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, taking you to the mysterious Chauchilla Cemetery, located 30 kilometers 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 civilization. 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. 

Afterward, we will return you to your hotel.

Frequently asked questions

The Chauchilla Cemetery and Artisans' Workshop tour includes a guided tour of the ancient pre-Incan cemetery, where you can see well-preserved mummies and artifacts, as well as enjoy a fascinating panoramic view of the Nazca Desert. There is also a visit to a local artisans' workshop where you can observe the process of creating traditional pottery pieces.

This excursion to the Chauchilla Cemetery and Artisans' Workshop lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours. This includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Nazca, a guided tour of the cemetery, and a visit to the local artisans' workshop. The duration may vary slightly depending on traffic and weather conditions on the day. It's recommended to be prepared to spend part of the day at the site, allowing you to fully enjoy the cultural and archaeological experience this Nazca tour offers.

The Chauchilla Cemetery and Artisans' Workshop tour is generally conducted in Spanish, although some tour agencies also offer services in English and other languages for a more personalized experience. It's advisable to check the availability of guides in your preferred language when booking your tour. This will ensure you fully understand the rich history and cultural significance of the archaeological sites visited in Nazca, thus enhancing your tourist experience with clear and detailed information.

It's recommended to wear comfortable, lightweight clothing, given the hot, dry climate of the Nazca Desert. A hat and sunscreen are essential to protect yourself from the sun. I also suggest bringing water in a reusable bottle to stay hydrated throughout the tour, and suitable walking shoes, as some areas can be uneven. Don't forget your camera to capture memorable moments. Finally, some cash could be useful for purchasing souvenirs or contributing to the local artisans you visit during the excursion.

No special preparation is required before visiting the Chauchilla Cemetery, but an interest in history and archaeology is beneficial to fully enjoy and appreciate the experience. Briefly learning about Nazca culture and pre-Inca funerary practices can enrich your visit, making it more meaningful by understanding the historical context. It is also recommended to be aware of the weather, wearing clothing appropriate for the desert heat. Be sure to book your excursion in advance to ensure availability and facilitate smoother trip planning.

Unvergessliche Tour: Chauchilla Friedhof und Handwerkerwerkstatt in Nazca

Einfach fantastisch! Der Chauchilla Friedhof und die Handwerkerwerkstatt waren echte Highlights. Die Gräber aus der Vor-Inka-Zeit sind so gut erhalten und einfach faszinierend. Unser Führer war super informiert und hat alles spannend erklärt. Die Handwerkerwerkstatt war auch sehr beeindruckend – man konnte den Einheimischen bei der Arbeit zusehen. Ein Muss für alle, die Geschichte und Kultur lieben. Danke, Tangol Tours!
