What you can expect

  • On this sightseeing tour, you'll have a unique cultural experience. We'll leave Trujillo for the picturesque town of Magdalena de Cao, where you'll stroll through its streets and visit a craft workshop to taste the traditional chicha de año, an ancient drink that is still preserved in the area. Then, you'll visit the impressive El Brujo Archaeological Complex, starting at the Cao Museum with its seven rooms full of historical pieces, including the awe-inspiring Lady of Cao, the first female ruler of ancient Peru. We'll then explore the archaeological site, admiring Moche murals and the exact spot where the tattooed mummy was found. Finally, we'll head back to Magdalena de Cao for an optional lunch and then set off on the return journey to Trujillo, arriving at approximately 4:00–5:00 p.m.
