Natural mummification in Peru

Chauchilla cemeteries was one of many pre-Inca cultures, which was robbed by grave robbers, who stole all the treasures made of ceramic, metallic and some textiles, accompanying the dead, leaving the desert mummies.

"Chauchilla is the only archaeological site in Peru where you can see mummies in the open, in tombs and it is a space in the process of excavation and study."
