夏文考古遗址的历史可以追溯到公元前1500年到公元前300年，它是在秘鲁安第斯山的高山峡谷中发展起来的一种文化。该遗迹是古代举行宗教仪式的场所，也是哥伦比亚发现新大陆以前出现的最负盛名之地。这里的斜坡和广场周围都是石头建筑，伴有大量兽形装饰物，景物别致多姿。

The archaeological site of Chavin gave its name to the culture that developed between 1500 and 300 B.C. in this high valley of the Peruvian Andes. This former place of worship is one of the earliest and best-known pre-Columbian sites. Its appearance is striking, with the complex of terraces and squares, surrounded by structures of dressed stone, and the mainly zoomorphic ornamentation.
