The Cementery of Chauchilla. Afterwards, we will visit the pre-Inca cementry of Chauchilla. For many years this pre-Inca site was looted by treasure hunters, who ransacked the place completely, taking away all its  treasures. The mummies kept in their tombs were for centuries mute witnesses of this pillage. These grave robbers just left behind the corpses, which can be seen today all over the ground. In addition to skulls and bones, you can also see several century old tombs, as well as long human hairs, pottery fragments and others remains scattered on the desert surface.
