Overview:
For many years Chauchilla cemetery was looted by treasure hunters, who destroyed the place completely, taking away all the treasures the mummies kept in their tombs for centuries. Grave robbers just left behind the corpses, which can be seen today all over the ground. In addition to skulls and bones, visitors also can see several tombs centuries’ old, as well as long human hairs, ceramic fragments and others remains scattered on the dessert surface. It is the only archaeological site in Peru, in which ancient mummies are seen in their original graves, along with ancient artifacts, dating back to 1000 AD.
Itinerary:
In the morning or afternoon (two daily departures options are available), departing either from Paracas or Ica, you will enjoy a half day guided excursion to Chauchilla Cemetery. Upon arrival to the graveyard of Chauchilla you will visit several tombs containing skeletons and mummified skulls, as well as preserved mummified bodies of children. After the excursion, return transfer to your hotel. On the way you will visit a ceramic studio, where a craftsman will give you a good explanation about the evolution of the Nazca culture and its ceramics.
