Day 03: Mancos-Chavín-Mancos

Private service guide in english

Departure very early in the morning by single bus for the vestiges of Chavín, anteroom of the Peruvian culture. Chavín was one of the greatest religious centers of the Andes, between 900 and 200 before JC. The enigmatic interior galleries surprise us much, so do the heads and stone engravings, which attest an aesthetic sense, a great refinement and an impulse of spirituality which could only be born from a deep philosophy and an ordered vision of the world. Visit of the site and return to Mancos late in the evening.
