Panamerican highway near Nazca. This is one of the greener parts of the desert.
Grave at necropolis at Chauchilla. These people built the aqueducts. The mummies were originally wrapped in several layers of finely woven cloths. Graverobbers have taken them.
Desert around Chauchilla. The barely visible beige mountain in the background is Cerro Blanco, a sand dune that is about 6000 feet tall. For the Tour de France buffs reading this, that's about the size of Mt. Ventoux.
