The Chavin civilization was located in the Andes Mountains of present-day Peru, which presented the environmental obstacle of high altitude. The altitude had an impact on various aspects of their daily life, such as agricultural practices, adaptation to thin air, and potential health issues.

Additionally, the Andean region experiences extreme temperature fluctuations due to its high elevation. The Chavin had to adapt to both cold temperatures at higher altitudes and warmer temperatures in lower areas, especially during different seasons. Managing these temperature extremes was crucial for their survival and successful cultivation of crops.
