Chauchilla Cemetery
Archaeological site
Sights & Landmarks
Cemeteries
Tours are offered of this ancient Nazca cemetery featuring mummified human remains & artifacts.
Remote desert area with around a dozen excavated, and sadly looted burial sites. Mummies are in various states of decay, but definitely worth checking out. There is even still some skin on one of them. Pots and bone fragments are in many of the graves.
However, due to local corruption, none of the entrance money is used to preserve the mummies, with only an adobe wall to protect from the wind and a skimpy shade overhead. If nothing is done soon, these treasures will be lost forever and sadly no one in government seems to care.

Not much explanations of why and how the mummies came to be but was a unique experience. Will not reccomend if need one needs to make a detour >30mins for this
Seth Chan — Google review
Very interested place, a shame that they dont take more (or any) care of it and let ancestors decaying with no protection from the sand. These mummies have been there since 2000 years and you can still see hair, clothes, skin… incredible.
Also to be noted that it is said on google that the site is closed, which is absolutely false and is the reason im writing a commentary as the place needs more visitors!

Ohhh! Okay guys, first Peru in general is awesome! You need to go on the coast cause everything is amazing! But Chauchilla Cemetery is definetely one of the coolest thing I ever saw. It's hot! Bring water. Enjoy!

Great experience. Definitely rounds out the Nazca Lines experience with additional info and context. Definitely recommend a guide to talk you through the history...we had Marco and he was fantastic.
Colum Grove-White — Google review
Interesting reenactment of what the tombs could have looked like before being robbed.
But please, do something about the trash.... Each and every single tomb had pieces of plastic trash in it (cups, plastic bags, candies, .... ).
Jeremy — Google review
Pretty interesting place. We went there a few days ago and it is suppose to closed during the pandemic, but you can still get there, park your car, walk around and see the graves. It's an open space in the middle of nowhere, no one was there, we found some trash inside of a few graves.
Ivana Vysna — Google review
The cemetery is an amazing place. All of the people buried were facing east toward the rising sun. Worth the long drive.
Bruno Soltic (Archaeology Bruno) — Google review
Chauchilla cemetery. I personally never witnessed mummies before so this was an extremely unique encounter.
As you arrive in what can only be described as the middle of nowhere, hundreds of tombs are hidden below your feet and under the sand.
Gravediggers in the past ransacked these tombs and stole valuable items like jewellery that usually got buried with the deceased. Pottery and bones are scattered around and in the tombs. It's believed that the grave site contains pre-hispanic remains but we were also told that the Ica Chicha (pre incan civilization dating back 1000 years) are found here.
Some of the mummies are very well preserved. You can even see neck muscles on some of them. It's an eerie, morbid location where you stare death in it's face.
If you're lucky, you might spot burying owls in this location as well.
Travis Davids — Google review
Around 40 min driving from Nazca lies fhis old cemetary. It consists of multiple holes in the ground containing preserved sitting bodies, which is both amazing and lugubrious at the same time.
Surrounding the cemetary are mountains and rocky grounds, proving you with a great view. Such a shame that so much was damaged before it was protected. Highly recommend
Aladar Kuun — Google review
The twelve excavated graves give a good picture of the burial rites of the Icachincha culture. In the rectangular graves you can see mummies (some with meters long hair strands), skulls, bones and burial gifts. Very interesting and educational.
Koen — Google review
All the graves were robbed in the 80s. What remains today is a room where there is a mummy on display and a number of open graves where assorted bones and remains have been placed in no particular order.
If you are close by pop in but I wouldn't recommend making a special visit.

The Bosque Municipal de Tacna in Peru is a park that has limited space for animals, but it is hoped that the local government will provide more support for the project. It is not an accessible location for those with mobility or wheelchair disabilities, but it provides affordable admission and parking facilities.

Bab-ul-Islam Mosque is a welcoming place for all visitors to experience the beauty of Islam. The community of brothers from Pakistan are known for their warmth and hospitality towards all who come to pray. Despite some negative perceptions of Muslims, the mosque encourages everyone to visit and learn about Islamic practices. It's important not to be misled by misconceptions or negative opinions, as Bab-ul-Islam Mosque is a peaceful and beautiful place where visitors can pray five times a day.
I've finally visited this Mosque, if any one trying to defame Islam by saying that is not a welcoming place is a fool, the brothers from Pakistan are very hard warming and welcoming people, we came in The Path of Allah over 25 brothers from Lima along the brothers from France they have a Sheik here from Yemen that was very happy to see us, some bad apples that claim to be Muslim sometimes act, like non Muslims maybe the guardian of the mosque didn't like that person that came for a reason or maybe 🤔 he was a Fed for all we know either way you're more than welcome 🤗 to come to visit the house of Allah don't let the Shaytan scare you or misguide you by tanking negative this is a beautiful Mosque and very beautiful people this is a Mosque not a museum we pray five times a day here.
Sun “Bucky” Times — Google review
This is indeed a beautiful mosque. Yet, the Pakistanian community there is known for not being friendly. I traveled to Tacna specially to visit the masjid and join them for Friday prayer. So I was very excited and went a little bit early and wanted to know about the Mosque and Muslim community there. The keeper (who actually didn't seem to be Pakistani) acted as if I was a CIA spy; what is he, an idiot?! The rest of the community were not that welcoming and friendly. I heard from the taxi driver and one other person that they are known for not being friendly and not being nice. They apparently made their money out of selling used cars. So, they don't have a good reputation among the general public. It would have been better to have a ugly Mosque and a beautiful community than a beautiful Mosque but an ugly community!

Tacna Cathedral is a stunning neo-renaissance edifice that was constructed in 1875 under the supervision of Gustave Eiffel, the renowned architect who designed the Eiffel Tower. Although it may not be as grandiose as some other cathedrals in Europe, it boasts an exquisite front facade that is particularly striking when viewed at night.
Beautiful Cathedral. Amazing plaza around it. Great tourist destination for some history and great photos.

Historic centre of Tacna. Beautiful architecture and design. (The front of the cathederal is "mirrowed" in the stone pavement in front of it.) The arch is in the form of a bullet and has statues of Grau and Bolognesi on either side. This commemorates the War of the Pacific.

(Translated by Google) A place with history where you can see a well-executed exhibition about Tacna's past. It maintains an interesting collection of documents from the Chilean occupation, the bad thing is that to see any document you are required to pay a registration fee, which for those of us who are going only once is a bit annoying. It is a cozy place, the office staff is very attentive.
(Original)
Un lugar con historia donde se puede apreciar una bien lograda exposición sobre el pasado de Tacna. Mantiene una interesante colección de documentos de la ocupación chilena, lo malo es que para ver cualquier documento se te exige pagar una inscripción que para quiénes vamos por única vez es un poco molesto. Es un acogedor lugar, el personal de oficina es muy atento.

(Translated by Google) The first floor is the City library and the second is the museum. It has good and incredible passages from the history of Tacna and the Pacific War. Although it lacks more historical articles in my opinion. Highlight the map of the old province and President Hoover's resolution on the new post-war boundaries between Chile and Peru.

Feria 28 de Julio in Tacna is a well-organized and secure shopping mall offering a wide range of clothing options for people of all ages and preferences. The merchants provide excellent deals and prices, ensuring satisfaction for customers. Additionally, there is a dedicated section for aesthetics and relaxing massages, which comes highly recommended. Visitors can enjoy services like manicures and express eyebrow treatments. Feria 28 de Julio is a worthwhile destination that guarantees an enjoyable shopping experience with its diverse offerings and quality services.
(Translated by Google) Very good and entertaining. Only prices are for Peruvians and foreigners. That is called discrimination, it could be improved and sales would increase

(Translated by Google) I adore this place! It is a great Persian and for Chileans, a great panorama. Clothing and accessories abound in Peruvian cotton, which is great because it lasts. It does not have an ATM, so you have to bring cash or card (depending on the location). It is clean, has a small dining room and services such as massages and others.

The Mercado Central is a bustling shopping hub that houses various vendors offering fresh fruit, meat and locally made handicrafts. In addition to this, it boasts of popular restaurants that serve delicious breakfast to visitors. The market is well-maintained and clean making it a preferred choice for shoppers who always buy here. One can also find quality Olive oil at the renowned vendor "Comercial Blanquita" G2.
This market is clean ... Neat , I would definitely buy here ALWAYS!
Sisa Waylla (Kusi) — Google review
Its a place where we can experience local food at a fraction of the price compared to tourist restaurants. Very competitive on that matter because there's many Chileans also working there. You can compare it to a huge grocery store and bargain store all in one. Fruits and vegetables are very cheap and they bring them in large quantities, what's favorable to tourists looking for local fruits or veggies because they sell it buy the kilo. I myself got 5 mangoes for a dollar (3.80 soles) and broccoli for 50 cents (about a pound) - that's just a small example. Its not really a touristic place, its a local community commercial center. Still, great to find amazing bargains!

A traditional place, recently refurbished, with many different things, starting for small convenience stores, with local products, milk, chocolates and any sort of thing for cooking or cleaning. LOL.
In the second floor you cand find a nice display of natural juice makers, who tempt you with fresh fruit slices for free like mangoes and melons. It is very cheap and juices are awesome because of the quality of the organic local fruits, tasty and aromatic. And for less than a dollar you can drink the WHOLE BLENDER. Yes, the whole blender.
There's a hidden sublevel where you can buy alcohol and cigarrettes from all around the world for very good prices (JW black for $40 bottle) and also there's nice cheap place to get a manicure or pedicure with nail design for less than $3 dollars.
In the surroundings you can find pirate buses to Arica, most of them, chilean. Good option to avoid crowded buses at the international station.

The open air museum of Petroglifos de Miculla showcases ancient rock carvings depicting hunting and dancing figures in arid landscapes, believed to be centuries old. This cultural site holds great significance in Tacna and can be accessed via a city tour or by car. The museum is located away from the city but is included in the tour package that costs around 30-40 soles (official currency of Peru).
It has a wonderful view and verybrustic bridges around.

This is an important place in Tacna as it represents a significant cultural aspect of the place. You can get there by car as well as you can take a city tour. The petroglyphs of Miculla are not located in near the city but they are also part of the city tour, which costs between 30 to 40 soles (official currency in Peru ~ 9 to 13 USD~)
