Our Olleros to Chavin trek combines 3 days of trekking
through a remote area of the Cordillera Blanca removed
from the busier tourist circuits and where local
people still live a traditional way of life.
The trek finishes at the archaeological site of
Chavín de Huántar which was the centre
of the Chavín culture, the oldest major culture
in Peru existing from around 1000 to 300 BC. The
site of Chavín de Huántar is an incredible
feat of engineering, with most of the construction
being built underground in an extensive labyrinth
of interconnecting chambers and tunnels.
