Chavin is composed of a truncated pyramid-shaped structure that presents a complex network of roads and interior galleries only illuminated by light beams that penetrate through strategically arranged ducts.
In this place you will appreciate the impressive “Lanzón”, this is a carved, 4.5m high lithic sculpture in which an anthropomorphic divinity is observed, the Gallery of the labyrinths, on the walls of the main temple you can see a series of key heads, sculptural lumps that apparently officiated as mythological guardians of the temple.
