About this tour

DAY 1.

Upon your arrival in the city of Chiclayo, our driver will pick you up from the airport or bus station to take you to the hotel located in the city center.

Then in the afternoon, we will begin this interesting tour by visiting the Paseo de las Musas , a place to spend unforgettable family moments and enjoy a lovely walk.

This urban park, built between 1994 and 1995, houses several squares, surrounded by beautiful gardens and flowers, as well as sculptures of 9 muses from Greek mythology made by the sculptor Miguel Ángel Díaz Dávila.

The tour in Chiclayo continues to the Main Park , as it doesn't have a Plaza de Armas because it wasn't a battleground. Here you'll have panoramic views of shopping centers, the old movie theater, and the imposing Cathedral.

The Chiclayo Cathedral , or Santa María Cathedral, began construction in 1869 and was completed in 1939 due to lack of funds. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel in the Neoclassical style.

We will continue the tour to the Municipal Palace . This historic monument from the republican era features temporary photography exhibitions in its beautiful rooms.

We will end the excursion by visiting the Witches' Market of Chiclayo , a place where you can find everything, including products related to witchcraft, since in Peru shamanism is widely practiced to heal illnesses, heartbreak, the evil eye, love spells, etc.

We'll have time to explore this interesting place, and then we'll drop you off back at the hotel. Overnight stay.

 

DAY 2.

Start an archaeological adventure with our exclusive tour of the Pyramids of Túcume and the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum .

 

Explore the mysterious archaeological complex of Túcume , located just 30 kilometers north of the city. Known as the Valley of the Pyramids, this place will leave you in awe with its 26 truncated adobe pyramids surrounding the majestic La Raya hill. These pyramids bore witness to the ancient Lambayeque, Chimú, and Inca cultures, each leaving its mark on this fascinating site.

 

Explore the remarkable Huaca Larga site, which developed over 500 years and spanned generations. Here you'll find the impressive Temple of the Sacred Stone, dating back to the Inca era and housing the funerary remains of an important ruler.

 

Next, we'll head to the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum , an optional visit that will transport you to a world of splendor and wealth. This magnificent museum, inspired by the truncated pyramids of the Moche culture , displays an impressive collection of artifacts discovered in the tombs of the most important rulers of the time, such as the legendary Lord of Sipán . Gold, ceramics, and meticulously crafted garments await you in the halls of this fascinating archaeological museum.

 

At the end of this incredible tour, we'll take you back to your hotel in the city. The rest of the afternoon is free, and overnight stay is included.

 

 

DAY 3.

 

We'll begin by learning about history at the impressive archaeological complex of Huaca Rajada . Here, you'll be transported back centuries as you explore the tomb that housed the celebrated Lord of Sipán, the ancient ruler of the 3rd-century Moche culture . This is your chance to witness firsthand the legacy of a fascinating pre-Columbian civilization that flourished on the northern coast of Peru.

 

The Moche culture will captivate your senses with its renowned art and architecture. Immerse yourself in a world of mystery and splendor as you discover the wonders at the heart of this ancient civilization. The Lord of Sipán, a revered archaeological icon, will fascinate you with its enduring history and mysteries.

 

The Lord of Sipán was a Moche ruler who lived more than 1,500 years ago in what is now northern Peru. His discovery in the richest tomb in Latin America revolutionized the field of archaeology and revealed a unique insight into the ancient Moche civilization.

 

After enjoying this incredible experience at Huaca Rajada, we'll take you to another highlight: the Huaca Rajada Site Museum . Here, you'll have the opportunity to marvel at the treasures and artifacts related to the Lord of Sipán and the Moche culture.
