Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Huanchaco and Chan Chan

Join us to discover the pre-Columbian culture of Peru on this excursion to the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Huanchaco and the citadel of Chan Chan.
ITINERARY
We will meet at the indicated time in the main square of Trujillo, and from there we will go to the archaeological site of the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. Along with the remains of these ancient huacas or sanctuaries, we will learn what society was like in the Trujillo Valley during the pre-Columbian Moche period.

We will continue the tour by visiting the Huaca del Arco Iris, also known as Huaca del Dragón. At this archaeological site we will explain the beliefs and traditions of another pre-Columbian people: the members of the Chimú culture. We will also stop in front of the stelae and murals found at this site to try to decipher their dragons and other sacred forms carved in adobe.

The next stop will be in Huanchaco, a picturesque fishing village where we will see their traditional fishing boats, the Caballitos de Totora. In this fishing village we will leave you free time for lunch.

After lunch we will visit the ancient citadel of Chan Chan, built by the Chimú. Today, this large complex, declared a World Heritage Site, is the largest adobe city in the Americas. During the tour of this architectural gem, we will visit the walls of Nik An, the ceremonial plazas, the granaries and the ancient cemeteries.

At the end of the guided tour of Chan Chan we will return to the main square of Trujillo, where we will arrive at 6:00 pm.
