This cemetery belonged to the Ica-Chincha culture and dates back more than 1,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For centuries, the tombs remained untouched, but during the 20th century, they were looted by treasure hunters who destroyed the structures and took valuable funerary offerings. What remains today is a direct testimony of the past: naturally mummified corpses, braided human hair, ceramics, textiles, and ceremonial remnants that are still visible thanks to the desert\u2019s dry climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tour offers an insightful look into an archaeologically fascinating site, far from mass tourism, where one can still feel the energy of ancient funerary rituals of the Andean coastal peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itinerary Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At coordinated time<\/strong> \u2013 Hotel pick-up and transfer to the archaeological site<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2014<\/strong> \u2013 Guided visit through the restored tombs of Chauchilla<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2014<\/strong> \u2013 Observation of mummies, skulls, ceramics, and textiles<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2014<\/strong> \u2013 Free time for photography and quiet exploration<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2014<\/strong> \u2013 Return to Nazca \u2013 end of service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detailed Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transfer to the archaeological site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the coordinated time, our vehicle will pick you up from your accommodation in Nazca and take you along a scenic route through the desert toward Chauchilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guided tour of the necropolis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your guide will accompany you throughout the visit, explaining the historical and funerary context of the twelve restored tombs, where naturally preserved mummies, braided hair, garments, and offerings remain.
