Chauchilla in Nasca – posebnost inkovske kulture (kulture prebivalcev Nasca) je tudi pokopavanje umrlih. V Chauchilli v puščavi so naključno odkrili grobišče mumij, ki so zahvaljujoč podnebju ostale ohranjene do danes. S posebnim postopkom mumifikacije so jih posušili in v položaju fetusa tudi pokopali v vkopane grobove. Na ta način so pokopavali svečenike. Tako pripravljene mumije so zavili v izbrane fine tkanine in jih skupaj z dragocenostmi pokopali v te grobnice. Seveda so Spanci in plenilci grobov te dragocenosti izropali.

Chauchilla Cemetery is a cemetery that contains prehispanic mummified human remains and archeological artifacts, located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the city of Nazca in Peru.

Leta 1930 so ob iskanju načina gradnje vodnjakov ob preletu iz zraka odkrili številne figure in geometrijske linije v Puščavi. Fascinantno je to, da so na zelo neravnih tleh ali skupaj zloženi veliko kamniti bloki ali vklesani jarki v skalo. In te linije iz tal zaradi velikosti niso vidne. Zaenkrat je vidnih 20 figur in okrog 300 linij in geometrijskih znakov. Kdo je to naredil in zakaj so te figure, kljub številnim teorijam, nihče ne ve. Kot se veliko pojavov in umetnin v Peruju. Misterioznost ostaja.

Huacachina is built around a small natural lake in the desert. Its name means ‘little screaming boy’ based on the folklore story of Henry Cobb. Henry was a prince who turned into a merman (male mermaid) after swimming in the oasis and was chased through the desert by all of the young women due to his godlike good looks. It is commonly referred to as the “oasis of America”, it is a resort geared to local families from the nearby city of Ica, and increasingly as an attraction for tourists drawn by the sports of sandboarding on the sand dunes that stretch several hundred feet high. Other popular activities include dune buggy rides on buggies known locally as areneros.
