At the appointed time we will meet at the main square of Trujillo and from there we will start our excursion to the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Huanchaco and the citadel of Chan Chan.
First, we will make a stop at the Cerro Blanco handicraft workshop, located in the Moche countryside, where we will see a demonstration of pottery making.

After this experience, we will head to the archaeological site of the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. Next to the remains of these ancient huacas or sanctuaries, we will learn what society was like in the Trujillo Valley during the pre-Columbian Moche era.

After approximately one hour of visit, we will stop in the village of Moche to recharge your batteries on your own with a typical dish of the local gastronomy. With your batteries recharged, we will visit the ancient citadel of Chan Chan, built by the Chimúes. Today, this great complex, declared a World Heritage Site, is the largest adobe city in the Americas. During the tour of this architectural jewel, we will visit the Nik An Palace.
