Description

Itinerary At 9:30 a.m. we will pick you up at your hotel in Huaraz and board a minibus to head towards Chavín de Huántar, two hours away. On the way we will stop at the Querococha Lagoon to enjoy the scenery - you will love it! Afterwards, we will continue with the excursion until we reach the archaeological site of Chavín de Huántar. Once there, we will visit all the vestiges left by this culture. Did you know that the priests took psychotropic substances to be closer to the gods? We will discover this and more curiosities! We will also see the Tello Obelisk, the Portico of the Falconides and the sunken circular plaza. In addition, we will learn to which gods the Chavin entrusted themselves and what their customs were. After the visit you will have free time in the village to have lunch on your own around 2:00 pm. With our strength restored, we will head to the Chavín National Museum, where we will continue to delve into the myths, legends and enigmas of Chavín de Huántar, which will surprise you! At 18:30 we will be back in Huaraz.
