Visit early morning (around 8-9 AM) when the light is soft for photography and the temperature is still bearable. The desert heat becomes intense after 11 AM, and the site has almost no shade.
Budgettips
Entry costs about 10-15 soles (around $3-4 USD) per person and is paid in cash at the entrance. No free days or combined passes are available, so bring small bills and avoid paying with large notes.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Ørkenluften har perfekt bevaret over 100 gamle mumier her, nogle iført deres originale bomuldstøj og flettet hår fra for 1.000 år siden. Dette er ikke Egypten-inspirerede indpakkede mumier: de sidder i fosterstilling med knæene trukket op, vendt mod solopgangen, som deres Wari- og Ica-Nazca-kulturer foreskrev.
Højdepunkter: Du vil se mumier med deres lange sorte hår intakt, hud spændt ud over knoglerne og tandede smil blottet for åben himmel gennem tagløse grave. I modsætning til museumsudstillinger bag glas kan du gå helt hen til disse gamle levn og se de omhyggelige gravgaver placeret ved siden af dem: keramikpotter, madofre og vævede tekstiler, der har overlevet et årtusinde.
Insidertips
- Bring a bandana or face mask: the desert wind kicks up fine dust that gets everywhere, especially in the afternoon.
- The guided tour is worth the small extra fee: your guide will show you which tombs were looted versus intact ones and explain the burial positions.
- Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip, as you'll be walking on loose sand and uneven ground between tomb pits.
- Skip the midday visit from December to March when the sun is brutal and there's zero shade across the entire site.
