Trujillo & Chiclayo Extension

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Flight/Bus to Trujillo & City Tour

After breakfast at your hotel in Lima, you will be picked up and taken back to the airport for your short flight to the city of Trujillo. Once you arrive in Trujillo, one of our representatives will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel in Trujillo. At this point, and depending on what time your flight arrives into Trujillo, you will have some time to rest and relax in your room. In the afternoon, you will embark on your guided Trujillo city tour. This city tour includes a panoramic visit of the downtown area, surrounded by colonial mansions now restored and renovated to their full magnificence by local institutions. You will also have a chance to visit the Cathedral with its historic collection of paintings. At the conclusion of your city tour, you will be taken back to your hotel. * An extra day in Trujillo can be added to your proposal. Please let us know if you would like us to add activities. You can also take a bus instead of a flight.

Day 2: Chan Chan, Huaca Dragon & Huanchaco Tour (B)

After breakfast at your hotel in Trujillo, you will be picked up and taken on your tour. On this day tour, you will visit the city of Chan Chan. The vast adobe city of Chan Chan was built by the Chimu around 850 AD and lasted until its conquest by the Inca Empire in 1470 AD. After Chan Chan, you will visit the Huaca Dragon, also known as “The House of the Dragon” located very near to Chan Chan. It has been excavated only in the 1960s, and its well-conserved rainbow-shaped friezes are fascinating. Some have interpreted the central motif to be that of a dragon. The last stop on your tour will be Huanchaco, a small town on the Peruvian coast that is rapidly acquiring a reputation for the quality of the surfing off its relaxed beaches, prior to returning to your hotel for the remainder of the evening. *An extra overnight in Huanchaco can be added to your proposal. Please let us know if you would like us to add extra activities.

Day 3: Sun and Moon Temple & Bus to Chiclayo (B, S)

After breakfast at your hotel in Trujillo, you will be picked up for your guided Tour of the Sun and the Moon Temple. This major archaeological site was built at the time of the Moche culture (100 BC-650 AD), just east of a prominent, freestanding hill, the Cerro Blanco (White Mountain), and next to a small tributary of the Moche River. It occupies a central location within the extensive Moche Valley. After your tour, you will be taken back to your hotel in order to pick up your luggage prior to heading out to the Trujillo bus station, to catch your bus to Chiclayo. Once on board the bus, you will enjoy a nice snack prior to arriving to Chiclayo, where one of our representatives will be waiting for you at the bus terminal, to take you to your hotel in Chiclayo. *An extra day in Chiclayo can be added to your proposal. Please let us know if you would like us to add extra activities.

Day 4: Sipan Site and Museum Tour & Tucume Tour (B)

In the morning, we depart from Chiclayo to the famous archaeological site of Huaca Rajada close to the village of Sipan, where the amazing treasures of the Lord of Sipan were found. The Lord of Sipán tomb is a Moche culture site in Peru. Some archaeologists hold it to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in this region of the world in the last 30 years, as the main tomb was found intact and untouched by thieves. Then we will visit the museum of Sipan, designed to resemble the ancient Moche tombs. Finally we will head out to the Túcume Pyramids. This site was a major regional center, maybe even the capital of the successive occupations of the area by the Lambayeque/Sicán/Chimu and Inca Cultures. Local shaman healers invoke power of Tucume and La Raya Mountain in their rituals, and local people fear these sites. This is a wonderful tour, and an absolute must when visiting Chiclayo. At the conclusion of your tour, you will go back to your hotel to take a well deserved rest. *An extra day in Chiclayo can be added to your proposal. Please let us know if you would like us to add extra activities.
