Chauchilla Cementery
Our customers are picked up at the designated time from their hotel by our local guide, and afterwards we will drive to the south of Nazca, following the Pan American Highway for about 21 kilometers, and then a dirty road of 7 kilometers that leads to the archaeological site of Chauchilla. In the graveyard of Chauchilla we will visit many tombs containing ancient pottery and humans remains. Our guide will be in charge of leading you throughout the place and explain about this old culture that flourished in the zone some 1000 years ago. In addition to the tombs, our customers will also enjoy a beautiful desert landscape surrounded by colorful hills. After touring around Chauchilla, we will go back to Nazca to visit a ceramic studio, where a craftsman will give us a good explanation about the Nazca ceramics. Here we will be able to learn step by step all the process involve in the elaboration of Nazca vessels, as well as purchase some Nazca ceramics and others souvenirs.
To finish off our tour, we will also visit a local place where men are working hard in order to extract gold. Here there will be a miner who kindly will explain the old method they use to get the gold out of the rocks.
