		The natural beauty of Callejón de Huaylas lies in the paradisical qualities of its landscape located in the central section of an Andean valley formed by the Santa river, pinned between the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Negra (White and Black mountain ranges).

		Chavín de Huántar is a site representative of early monumentality, and by extension, early leadership, if we infer that the large amount of labor involved in massive construction was coordinated by, and probably mandated by the governing structure.
		If this is the case, then the characteristics and growth patterns of these early centers should reflect some aspects of that leadership, and the strategies of governance in which architecture played a part.
		At first it was thought that this broad distribution of similar art was evidence for a strong state-like political leadership, but little evidence has been found for the unified, beaurocratic, and military organization typical of evolved states.
