Chavin de Huantar

We visited the site of Chavin de Huantar, the principal site of the Chavin culture who are the oldest major culture in Peru and predate the Incas by 2000 years.. we had seen some of their artwork at the museum in Lima, they are most well known for their unique carvings.
The coolest part was seeing llamas roaming around the ruins and getting to go down into the underground chambers.. the tour was given in Spanish and we only comprehended about 1/10th of the information given by the guide. Reminding us that we really need to keep working on our Spanish.
