The Chavín archaeological site is named after a culture that developed between 1500 and 300 BC in the high valleys of the Peruvian Andes. This former place of worship is one of the earliest and most famous pre-Columbian sites. Its appearance is striking, with a complex of terraces and plazas surrounded by dressed stone buildings, mainly decorated in zoomorphic shapes.
