Barrow Cemetery in Ica Department.An ancient cemetery associated with the Nasca culture. Several of the tombs have been excavated and can be examined along with the remains of those buried, now mummified by the desert conditions.
Unfortunately, prior to the excavations and the site being made public with a caretaker, many of the tombs were robbed and an areal view shows looter holes throughout the area.
