Chepén Mountain and Crucis Path (Via Crucis)

The attraction of Chepén is the mix of pre-Hispanic archaeological buildings with 23 statues collected from more recent eras. It now forms part of a Catholic pilgrimage route emulating the “Via Crucis” — the Way of the Cross. The path is a series of stone constructions built in the pre-Inca era, integrated with a collection of altars, combined with meeting and living areas for the nobility. A large wall surrounds the site with main entrances on the north and south.
