Excursion to Chavin de Huantar
Early morning departure to visit the Chavin de Huantar Fortress, located in the Conchucos Valley. This archaeological site reminds us of one of the most ancient civilizations of pre-Inca times: Chavin. It is probably the oldest ceremonial centre in Ancient Peru boasting the famed "Cabezas Clavas" (stone-carved heads) and the famous "Lanzon", idol found in the underground galleries. Box lunch is included.

Sechin
Located in the coastal valley of Casma, rich in archaeological remains, Sechin is a large stone temple which has been almost completely restored on three sides, the walls are covered by carved stone monoliths representing gruesome battle scenes. The temple is pre-Chavin, about 1,500 BC. There is a small museum next to the temple. These ruins can be visited en route from Lima to Trujillo (or vice versa) or from Huaraz to Trujillo (or vice versa) or from Lima to Huaraz (or vice versa).
