Interesting, but not worth the trip.
The site is very interesting, but there is not much there. There are about 10 grave sites, and they are all the same. The artifacts were stolen. This is not worth the trip

Amazing Tour with Awesome Guide
Had an amazing time with Carlos on the pyramid and graveyard tour. He helped me get both of them in even though I was pressed for time in Nazca. Carlos is local and has a lot of knowledge of the Nazca that I didn't receive anywhere else on my travels.

One of the best visits made in two months of travel!
Fantastic experience: Carlos, the guide, was very competent and knowledgeable, as well as in love with his city and its extraordinary archaeological heritage; it allowed me to really immerse myself in the culture of Nazca and the visit was almost moving. Not to be underestimated, he also spoke excellent Italian and, after a month of travel, I was really pleased to use my language with someone. Everything went very calmly, I never felt that I was in any hurry. Serious agency, I recommend it.

Once in a lifetime experience
The Cemetery was one of the most unbelievable places that I have ever visited. The shear magnitude of the grave site was awe inspiring, and the ability to see dozens of mummies and hundreds of human bones scattered around was a truly once in a lifetime experience. Carlos was was an amazing guide, and he was able to answer any questions I had with knowledge and comprehensive information.
