At approximately kilometer 30 along the Lima-Canta highway lies the village of Chocas, in the district of Carabayllo. In this area, far from the capital, is located the only COVID cemetery in the region, established between March and June 2020 during the COVID-19 health emergency. Faced with the high mortality rate that plagued Lima, many cemeteries reached their capacity. According to the Carabayllo municipal ordinance, the Chocas cemetery is exclusively for victims of the coronavirus. For this reason, it was built on the highest part of the village. The area is desert-like and rocky; however, many families travel from various places to visit or give their loved ones a Christian burial, amidst the dust and strong winds.
