The East of Ankash

The East of Ankash is a zone near the Cordillera Blanca mountain range in the Ancash region of Peru.[1] The valley is the home of the archaeological site of the remains of Chavín de Huantar, which dates from the year 900, and was a ceremonial center in which human sacrifices were made.[2]
