Itinerary

Meeting point 10 minutes before the indicated time on Jiron Orbegoso street. Once we are all gathered, we will head towards the Moche countryside to observe the numerous adobe and mud constructions belonging to the ancient Moche culture.

On the way, we will make a stop to observe the elaboration of Moche pottery in one of the workshops. Arriving at the site, you will appreciate the huge walls of the Huaca del Sol and almost half a kilometer away we will see the great Huaca de La Luna.

We will enter these imposing constructions and walk through its different levels admiring the beautiful colors of its walls that still preserve paintings with warrior and religious motifs. We will see paintings that emulate the rites and ceremonies practiced by the Mochicas, such as the human sacrifices performed in the central square of the huaca.

During the tour, we will observe the effects of the erosion of the huacas due to the winds and rains. While admiring the Huaca del Sol, we will learn about the history of the illegal looters who plundered these constructions without control.

After exploring these fascinating constructions for an hour and a half, we will head to the town of Moche, where you will have two hours of free time to recharge your batteries in a local restaurant.
