Religion
The nature-based iconography of anthropomorphic figures
which utilizes a feline theme is one of the broad and
characteristic traits of Chavín culture.

Agriculture and drainage system
They developed elaborated irrigation systems to assist the growth of potato, peanut, quinoa, and maize.
• The Chavin de Huantar temple is an example of architecture and control of the enviroment. The temple's design shows complex innovation to adapt to the highland environments of Peru.

Government• The priests, the administrators, and
wealthy traders probably made up an elite group of rulers in the community. There also must also been a big pool of laborers to build the large temples of Chavín de Huántar. It is likely that nearby farming villages sent crews of workers to public building projects as a kind of tribute payment to the religious center.

Economy• The economy of the region seems to
have been driven by the temple. As the Chavín religion spread, people traveled to Chavín de Huántar from all over the Andes, bringing gifts and tribute for the priests and oracles and greatly enriching the city. Traders who lived in or near the ceremonial center also traveled, taking Chavín goods and ideas to remote parts of present-day Peru.

Decline
•People scattered, abandoning the areas of the large ceremonial centers, including Chavín de Huántar. Without the unifying religious and trade network of the Chavín in the years following its abandonment, the Andean region was once again divided into small communities that remained independent of each other.
