Chavin de Huantar are archaeological ruins that the UNESCO designated as a World Heritage Site. Join me on this 1 day hiking adventure to discover the ruins of this intriguing place.

Chavin was the name of the culture that inhabited this valley amongst the Peruvian Andes, between 1,500 and 300 B.C. The archaeological ruins we will visit are a former site of worship. And it is one of the earliest and most famous pre-columbian sites.

Walking through this fantastic place is hypnotizing. The striking structures, complex carved stones and ornamental sculptures everywhere, make it a true delight to see.

Also, we’ll explore the Stone of Chiquechinchay, the nailed Heads, and the Lanzón de Chavin. And we’ll cross mesmerizing labyrinths and internal galleries, while admiring the dazzling columns and ceremonial spots.

We’ll also visit the Chavin de Huantar Temple, a magnificent structure of over 3,000 years. Here, we’ll encounter, splendid architecture wonders, like subterranean galleries and hidden squares. Other marvellous things we will explore include the Lanzon Monolithic and Portada de las Falcónidas.

Thereupon, we’ll visit enchanting villages such as Catac, Recuay Ticapampa, Kercos and Chavin. There we learn more about the local culture. And, we’ll visit other spots such as the Querococha lake and the Mosna river. Moreover, we’ll explore the White Andes, right by the Cahuish tunnel, the highest tunnel in the world with 480 meters of longitude.
