What you can expect

Early in the morning, a guide will pick you up from your hotel, and take you to explore the Moche Valley, located in the northern of Peru, and is the place where the pre-Inca Moche and Chimú cultures emerged. We will start at the Sun & Moon Huacas, which includes two large truncated pyramids, the Huaca Las Estrellas, Huaca del Cerro Blanco, the geoglyph of the Spider, and others buildings located in front of Cerro Blanco and near the Moche River. Then, you will stop in a traditional workshop of a traditional Moche family.

If you choose only the Sun & Moon Huacas and Museum tour, after visiting the Sun & Moon huacas, you will go to the Huacas de Moche Museum to appreciate unique pieces of the Mochica culture. Then, you will be transferred to your hotel.

If you choose the tour Sun & Moon Huacas, Chan Chan and Huanchaco, after visiting the pyramids, you will visit Chan Chan archaeological zone and the Nik-An Palace, the largest mud city in the world and most populated on the north coast among the 600 and 700 AD. Then, you will have lunch at a local restaurant in the fishermen spa of Huanchaco, and its famous Totora horses. Then, you will be taken back to your hotel.

The Sun Huaca was used as a political-administrative centre, and the Moon Huaca as a ceremonial temple. Located in the Moche Valley in the coastal desert near Trujillo, these archaeological complexes were built by the Moche civilisations. The Huaca del Dragon was a religious monument, administrative and ceremonial centre, and it has amazing murals. Chan Chan is a pre-Columbian adobe city, and it was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.
