Chankillo Sunset Tour

At 4 pm, we will pick you up at your hotel in Casma to travel to the archaeological site of Chankillo. This site, part of the World Heritage List since July 2021, is considered the oldest astronomical complex in the Americas, with origins dating back to between 257 and 201 BC.

During the visit, we will explore the area of the Thirteen Towers, aiming to understand the ancient peoples' vision of the cosmos. Unlike other sites like Stonehenge, Chankillo functioned as an astronomical observatory throughout the year, marking solstices, equinoxes, as well as sun and moon events.

While learning about this ancient observatory, we will experience a magical sunset over the Chankillo complex, witnessing the same view that ancient peoples observed.

After the sunset, we will return to your hotel in Casma, arriving between 6 and 6:30 pm.
