Itinerary
We'll meet at the indicated time in the main square of Trujillo, and from there we'll 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'll learn about what society was like in the Trujillo Valley during the pre-Columbian Moche period.

We'll continue the tour by visiting the Huaca del Arco Iris, also known as the Huaca del Dragón. At this archaeological site, we'll explain the beliefs and traditions of another pre-Columbian people: the members of the Chimú culture. We'll also stop at 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'll see its traditional fishing boats, the Caballitos de Totora. In this fishing village, you'll have free time for lunch.

After lunch, we will visit the ancient citadel of Chan Chan, built by the Chimú people. Today, this great complex, declared a World Heritage Site, is the largest adobe city in the Americas. During the tour of this architectural gem, we'll 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'll return to the main square of Trujillo, where we'll arrive at 6:00 PM.
