  Vista del observatorio solar de Chankillo

Chankillo el observatorio solar más antiguo de América, ubicado en la costa del Perú a 400 kilómetros de Lima. El obsevatorio de una antiguadad de más de 2.000 años, está conformado por trece torres alineadas de norte a sur. Los expertos entre los cuales se encuentran, Ivan Ghezzi, de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Perú, y Charles Ruggles, de la Universidad de Leicester, de Inglaterra, explican que las torres localizadas en el monte Chankillo (de aquí el nombre del observatorio) servían para señalar con bastante precisión el moviento del sol a través de año como también los equinoccios y los solsticios indicando así mismo el avanzado conocimiento de la astronomía de los antiguos peruanos, los cuales supieron usarlo y applicarlo muy eficazmente para el desarrollo de su agricultura.
