Ancient City of Chan Chan
The City of Chan Chan is
the largest mud-brick city in Latin America
and part of Peru’s history-
believed to be the capital of the Pre-Inca Chimu.
Now, Chan Chan is being used as a "classroom"
for elementary and middle school students.
The students not only study conservation
procedures but also learn how to make
adobe and mud-bricks using the same techniques
that Pre-Incan Peruvians used.
Cristobal Campana, head of the Chan Chan
conservation team, says, “The idea is for students
to be able to identify with their heritage and assume
the commitment to look after it.”
Talk about hands-on learning!
Imagine what else they can build and create!
