Description
Discover the most attractive places in the city of Trujillo.
Itinerary 09:30 We head to the Moche countryside and appreciate the Moche way of life, both in their crafts, expressed in the manufacture of ceramics, leather work, wood and stone carvings, basketry, among others, and in their gastronomy. Finally, we will arrive at the Huacas del Sol and de la Luna, considered a Moche sanctuary formed by a set of monuments that physically represented the capital of the Moche culture from the 1st century BC to the 9th century. Time to eat Then we continue to Chanchán, formed by 9 citadels or palaces. Each one has similar formal characteristics such as: its monumental scale, very restricted access, the complexity and elaboration of its architectural forms. We continue the tour arriving at Huanchaco, a traditional fishing cove, whose inhabitants preserve to this day many of the customs of their Moche ancestors; so much so that the tiny boats called "caballitos", made of reeds, continue to be the main work tool of the current Huanchaquero fisherman. 18:00 h End of the tour.
