	Cahuachi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cahuachi, in Peru, was a major ceremonial center of the Nazca culture and overlooked some of the Nazca lines from 1 CE to about 500 CE.
		The permanent population was quite small, but it was apparently a pilgrimage center that grew greatly in population for major ceremonial events.
		Support for the pilgrimage theory comes from archaeological evidence of sparse population at Cahuachi and from the Nazca lines themselves which show creatures such as orca and monkeys which were not present in the Nazca region.
