Unmissable - The place is incredible and very interesting. Millennia of history right there, preserved and with an experienced guide who explains in detail about the archaeological site. Clean and safe bus.

MAGNIFICENT - Spectacular place. A close encounter with the history and cultural manifestations before the Incas in Peru. It is an unmissable attraction for those interested in knowing the history and cultural legacy in Peru.

Very interesting archaeological site - Archaeological site still being explored. You can enter the galleries. Very rich external area. Very worth the visit.

Disappointing - We took a day trip from Huaraz to Chavin de huantar, stopping on the road at Qerococha lagoon. The lagoon is nice but no more. But being on the side of the road, it would be a shame not to stop there. However, we were very disappointed by the visit to the Chavin site. We found that it was very poorly developed. We cannot approach the most interesting places, and access to see the Lanzon is very poorly organized. Only the museum is worth the visit with beautiful pieces that you have all the time to admire. If you still want to visit this site, avoid going through an agency: Everyone arrives at the same time (which is problematic given the bad organization of the site), no time to make the tour quietly, a Check-out from Huaraz too late (8:30 announced, but actually 9:30 time to pick everyone up)
