Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - Peru
Sightseeing
We depart due south along the Callejon de Huaylas until we reach Ccatac. We take the road east and drive through the Cordillera Blanca, passing the Querococha Lake and through the Kawish tunnel at 4,550 meters (14,924 ft). Once on the other side, the Callejon de Conchucos comes into view, with many of its Andean villages such as Tambillos and Machaq.
Sightseeing
After a couple of hours, we arrive at the village of Huantar and Chavin where we find the temple of the same name. This place holds many mysteries in its interesting carvings and architecture. Recent archeological work has uncovered a labyrinth of tunnels and caves inside the main mound that overlooks the ceremonial plaza. After visiting this site, including the underground passages, we will return to Huaraz.
Sightseeing
There is an option to stay overnight at Konchukos Tambo Lodge, a new hotel in the Chavin vicinity, where you can take side trips to a local farm and local weavers. Please let us know if you would like to adjust your itinerary to make this a 2-day/1 night side trip.
