From Salaverry Port: Chan Chan and Ceviche Experience

Welcome to the northern coast of Peru, where we invite you to live an amazing experience during your short stay. Discover the ruins of Chan Chan and taste a ceviche in Huanchaco from Puerto Salaverry.
Experience the fascinating history and cultural richness of northern coast of Peru with our exclusive tour from the charming Puerto Salaverry, located near the city of Trujillo and a cruise disembarkation point. Embark on an unforgettable journey that will immerse you in the majestic city of Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in pre-Columbian America, and a treasure declared a Unesco World Heritage Site.

From the port, we will head just 50 minutes away to the enigmatic archaeological site of Chan Chan. Explore the small walled citadels that stretch over 20 square kilometers, uncovering the remnants of the civilization that inhabited this wonder between 600 and 700 AD.

The archaeological complex of Chan Chan belongs to the Chimú culture, a pre-Inca civilization that flourished during the 15th century.

The next destination is the picturesque fishing village of Huanchaco, famous for its Totora Horses and breathtaking sea views. Immerse yourself in the history of the ancient pre-Incan cultures that discovered the unique properties of totora, an aquatic plant that grows on the nearby beaches.

These small boats, passed down from generation to generation, allowed fishermen to navigate the waters of the Pacific Ocean while carrying out their fishing activities.

Discover the culinary culture by participating in an exclusive ceviche preparation demonstration with a professional chef. Learn the secrets of this emblematic dish as they show you step by step through the creation of a traditional northern ceviche, made with fresh fish and marinated with lime. At the end of the demonstration, the chef will invite you to taste the prepared ceviche. You can also enjoy a delicious lunch (optional) at the restaurant.

Finally, we will drive you back to Puerto Salaverry, ready to continue your journey on the cruise with unforgettable memories of this unique day filled with history, culture, and Peruvian culinary delights.
