Peruvian Culture The Quechua and the Aymara are the two main native cultures of Peru, both of whom speak their native languages. These Inca descendants have successfully preserved and developed their proud cultures despite the creeping in of globalization.

What was the first culture in Peru?

Chavín culture The earliest known Peruvian civilization was the Chavín culture (1200–400 B.C.), a theocracy that worshiped a feline, jaguar-like god and settled in present-day Huántar, Ancash (central Peru). Over 8 centuries, the Chavín, who never developed into a military empire, unified groups of peoples across Peru.
