See availability →Take a Chavín de Huántar tour with Querococha Lagoon from Huaraz: a full day of ceremonial plazas, underground galleries and a museum of original pieces.
On this Chavín de Huántar tour with Querococha Lagoon, a full day takes you from Huaraz across the Cordillera Blanca and into the Callejón de Conchucos. The first pause is at Querococha Lagoon, glacial in origin and ringed by mountains, a good place for photos. The road then passes through the Kawish Tunnel, which links the two valleys.
At the Chavín de Huántar archaeological monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you walk through one of the great ceremonial complexes of the Chavín culture: ceremonial plazas, underground galleries and labyrinthine passages, plus stone monuments that show the artistic and religious level of this civilisation.
- Monolithic Lance and Clava Head
- Stone of the Seven Holes
- Choquechinchay and the Portico of the Falconids
Lunch comes after the ruins, at your own expense, and then the Chavín National Museum, where original pieces and archaeological objects explain this pre-Inca culture. The tour then returns to Huaraz.
Tourist transport, a Spanish-language guide, assistance during the excursion and entry to the sites is included. It is not suitable for people with altitude sickness.
