Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: La Huaca del Sol, Carretera Campina de Moche, Moche 13600 Peru

Located under the pyramid-shaped Cerro Blanco at the south edge of town, the site is a unique experience and a great way to explore the Moche culture. Only downside is they no longer let you clamber about on your own and the internal chambers of the Huaca de la Luna are now closed to visitors .

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Museo Huacas de Moche, Valle de Moche, Trujillo Peru

The history of this place is amazing. The decoration, paintings and stories will enthral you. Some of the links in the paintings to the world today are uncanny. If you are into history or even if you are not, this place is well worth a visit.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Museo de Sitio de Chan Chan, Av. Chan Chan s/n, Huanchaco Peru

This is a nearby Museum that is just a short distance from the major complex. The museum shows a nice example of the ancient culture and the artifacts are well display. The museum was not crowded when we were there and one can leisurely see the exhibits without the onslaught of tourists.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Chan Chan, Trujillo Peru

This 2nd largest adobe city in the world covers a huge area and this Palace temples complex has a lot of intricate bits of history and general information relating to the Chimu civilization and the Shaman and Priests that inhabited these sites. There are general storage areas an about 17 temple areas under cover. My favorite parts are the directional markers, fish, facing toward the center and exits. Geometric waves and pelicans, traditional waves, nets everywhere. These were Moon worshippers in direct relation to the tides and ocean.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Playa de Huanchaco, Avenida Costanera, Huanchaco 13000 Peru

Huanchaco is a good place for a short walk, and practice the surf. The wave is good for beginners and the water is not that deep.So it's alright for people to practice.
