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.
