¡Qué tour tan diferente y genial! El Cementerio de Chauchilla me dejó boquiabierto, ver momias auténticas y escuchar las historias de los guías fue increíble. Además, conocer el taller de artesanos hizo que todo fuera muy auténtico, ¡es impresionante cómo trabajan la cerámica! El grupo era pequeño, la organización excelente y nos dieron tiempo para explorar y preguntar. Si te gusta la historia y aprender de otras culturas, no te lo pierdas. 100% recomendado si estás por Nazca, la verdad que superó todas mis expectativas.

Descubrí momias milenarias y el arte ancestral de Nazca en una sola tarde

Honestly, this Chauchilla Cemetery and Artisan Workshop tour was way cooler than I expected! Walking among ancient tombs with still-visible mummies was kinda surreal. The guide really knew his stuff, making history super interesting and not boring at all. Loved watching how the local artisans work with pottery too – their skills are amazing! We even got to try some ourselves. If you’re into history and something a little different, this is a must-do in Nazca!
