Huaraz - Querococha Lagoon - Chavin Monument / Museum

It is considered that Chavin de Huantar was one of the first cultures of Peru and the first cult centre.
The visit begins with a tour of the villages located in the southern part of the city of Huaraz (Recuay, Ticapampa, Catac). The route then turns east and enters the Cordillera Blanca and stops for about 20 minutes at the Querococha lagoon (3900 metres above sea level), Then we continue ascending to the Cahuish pass and cross the valley of the Callejón de Conchucos and arrive after an endless descent of curves to the city of Chavin where we will visit the majestic archaeological complex of Chavin (Square Plaza, Circular Plaza, The Castle, The Labyrinths and the famous Lanzon) and also the museum of Chavin which is located 1 km from the city.
Here we can learn about the different stages and phases of the development of the Great First High Andean Culture in Peru. After lunch in the city of Chavin and a few minutes’ walk through its streets, we will return by the same route to the city of Huaraz.
