Chavín de Huántar Day Trip
Day Trip Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet along Jirón 28 de Julio in Huaraz and board a minibus to head towards Chavín de Huántar. Let's go!
As we make the 4-hour journey towards our destination, we'll make a brief stop at Querococha Lake to admire the views. Can you believe this lake is located 3,980 meters (13,057 ft) above sea leave? Afterward, we'll continue our excursion to the archeological site of Chavín de Huántar.
Upon arriving at our destination, we'll set off to explore the site full of vestiges from the Chavín culture. Walking through the grounds, we'll view incredible ruins like the Tello Obelisk, the Portico of the Falconides, and the sunken circular plaza, some dating back to 1200 BC!
During our visit, we'll learn all about the Chavín civilization, a major pre-Inca culture. We'll learn about the different gods they worshiped, and their cultural practices. Did you know Chavín religious leaders often took psychotropic substances, believing it brought them closer to God? Fascinating!
Following our visit to the archeological site, we'll leave you some free time to grab lunch at the local restaurants nearby. Then, with newfound energy, we'll head to the Chavín National Museum. Here, we'll stroll through the gallery rooms for about 30 minutes, as we continue learning about the myths, legends, and mysteries of Chavín de Huántar.
Then, we'll begin our return journey to Huaraz where we'll arrive back at the meeting point 11 hours later.
