Description

In the north of Peru you can find the most impressive archaeological complexes of the country. So an escape to that area promises culture, but, while we are there, also beach, nature and good food.
Itinerary

The tour starts with the pick up from the hotel in Trujillo at 9:00 a.m. to begin this journey through the Moche region, located in the northwest of Peru.

The Mochicas inhabited these lands between the 2nd and 5th centuries, leaving traces of their culture along the Moche River valley. First we will go to the Museum of the Huaca de Moche, where we will discover all the secrets of these legendary constructions.

We will continue with a visit to the Huacas del Sol and de la Luna Archaeological Complex, capital of the Moche civilization. Here we will observe the constructions called huacas, stepped pyramids that served as tombs. We will walk around the sanctuary while we discover the secrets hidden within its walls, decorated with ritual and war scenes.

Then we will move to the town of Moche, which is part of the so-called Moche Route, a tourist trail that follows the traces of this pre-Columbian culture. Here we will leave you free time to have lunch on your own. After lunch we will visit the Itinerant Museum and the murals of the town. We will end the tour with the return to Trujillo. Arrival at your hotel is scheduled for 4:30 pm.
