Lying at the foot of bare hills in an empty stretch of pampa, the Chauchilla cemetery contains well-preserved mummies of the Nazca era in their original graves.
Soon after arriving in Nazca, we discovered that there was much more to explore than just the famous Lines. We felt a particular attraction to the ancient cemetery of Chauchilla, and found a very friendly driver to take us there at the end of a sunny late October day. After taking a left turn from the Pan American Highway, our little Korean car jolted over the dirt track towards the hills in the east and managed surprisingly well. The panorama before us was fantastic: empty landscape, strangely coloured hills, and friendly clouds in the sky giving even more depth to the lonely scene. Appropriate enough for a cemetery.
