Heritage is as important as food and shelter.  Loss of heritage is a loss of a cultural identity.  For people already going through war, famine and natural disasters, they have enough to face without giving up their history.

Due to where this site is located, it has been swallowed by a lot of the jungle. The ruins have faced hundreds of years worth of neglect and structural instability. The surrounding area's economy is in poverty, so this issue is far down the list for the people from this area. Water damage, earthquakes and other natural disasters have cause, however it is situated in an area that is not under threat of encroaching development(@Global_Heritage 2016).

This site holds artifacts that show how the ancient Peruvians of the Andes lived and how they expressed themselves artistically(Jarzombek 2013).  This is where Raimondi Stela was most likely from and is a look into the cultural development of the indigenous people of this region before the European conquering(Dolan 2011).  image credit:

Chavin de Huantar is an archaeological sight in the Peruvian Andes. The sight was occupied by the Chavin, a major pre-Inca culture that inhabited the region until about 400 BC(Polo 1900). This was an area of religious significance, but were mostly abandoned and became agricultural lands. Using carbon dating, occupation has been here since at least 3000 BC.  image credit: José Luis Cruzado Coronel.
