Tello called "Paracas-Necropolis" belong to a cultural tradition called the Topará culture, the center of which was located further north, in theChincha Valley ( 500 BC-200 AD).

Its main exponent is the Warikayan estate, consisting of underground chambers, each chamber supposedly had been owned by a specific family or clan, which burried its ancestors over many generations, some of which housed up to 400 funeral graves. Each burden houses a mummy wrapped in many layers of textiles, some of which are of extraordinary quality - known globally as the "Paracas Blankets".
