The place itself is magic and wonderful. The guide (spanish speaking) was professional, I enjoyes his explanation. The thing I dont like (about all peruvian tours) is a very exausting travelling to and from destination. Distances are short, but the roads are bad. But Chavin site is worth getting there anyway!

Being a tour guide I have a few suggestions.
1) Start to leave town at 730am.
2) Chavin tour begins at 1030am
3) Lunch at 1230pm
4) Museum at 200pm
5) DEpart for Huaraz 3:00pm
6) Arrive Huaraz 600pm
Drop participants at Plaza de Armas

The trip involves a long ride on a Greyhound sized bus through stunning scenery and then a thorough traverse of the Chavin ruins and museum. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept things moving. My Spanish is only ok so I didn’t get everything but that is my fault (there were no side translations to English). My only complaint was that the guide was a bit bossy - he scolded people for being on their cellphones, told people where to sit in the bus, repeatedly warned people about not being late and spent a fair amount of time telling jokes, which required you to listen rather than being allowed just to look out the window. But all in all a very good experience.

Malgré la route, je recommande vivement !! Ce tour permet de découvrir un pan de l’histoire du pays et surtout l’une des plus anciennes civilisations de la région !!
