Best of Trujillo
- Meet your tour guide and visit the Sun and the Moon temples, a religious center for the Moche culture, developed between 100 and 900 AD. The archaeological complex shows the two large pyramids with flat tops, known as huacas.
- Then, we drive north of Trujillo to visit the Huaca Dragon, also known as Huaca Arco Iris (Rainbow Pyramid), which belonged to the Chimu culture. Since the pandemic, it is not open yet. But we spend a longer time in temples.
- After lunch, we continue to Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in America, built by the Chimu and covering an area of about 20 square kilometres.
- We head to the ancient fishing village of Huanchaco for a good lunch based on food or photos (depending on time). Huanchaco is one of the most famous beaches of Peru, where you can see the traditional fishing boats (caballitos de totora), which are still in use today.
- Finally, return to Salaverry Port.
