Itinéraire
The archaeological zone of Chauchilla is located in a desert area, approximately 28 kilometers from the city of Nazca. For many years this pre-Inca cemetery has been looted by treasure seekers, who destroyed the tombs and stole all the treasures that lay with it. the mummies. During the visit you can see skeletons and skulls, you can also see tombs in good condition that are more than a thousand years old, long braids of human hair, and mummified bodies of children in perfect condition.
After exploring the Chauchilla area, we will return to Nazca and visit the workshop of a ceramist who will give us details about the evolution of the Nazca civilization and will show us how the men of this culture made their beautiful and colorful ceramics two thousand years ago. To finish our walk, we will visit a place where informal miners usually work in very extreme conditions to extract gold from the rocks. Return to your hotel

About Nazca
Nazca is a desert town on Peru's south coast, famous for giant ancient lines and figures etched into the plain, best seen from the air or a viewing tower.
Nazca lies in a coastal valley in southern Peru, at the foot of the Andes, in one of the driest stretches of the country. On the plains nearby, the Nazca Lines, giant figures of a hummingbird, a monkey, a spider and a condor, together with straight lines and geometric shapes, were etched in the stony ground between about 500 BC and AD 500. UNESCO lists them as a World Heritage site, and the German mathematician Maria Reiche spent decades mapping them.
Top-ranked sights in Nazca: Cantalloc Aqueducts (Acueductos de Cantalloc).
