What you can expect

Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel in Trujillo and transfer to the bus terminal for your journey to Chiclayo. Enjoy a comfortable ride along the Pan-American Highway while admiring the changing landscapes of Peru’s northern coast.

Travel by interprovincial bus with reclining seats and air conditioning. The journey takes approximately four hours, allowing you to relax and prepare for an unforgettable day of exploration.

Upon arrival in Chiclayo, meet your local guide and begin the guided tour of the region’s most important cultural attractions. Your first stop will be Huaca Rajada, the archaeological site where the tomb of the Lord of Sipán was discovered in 1987. This discovery revolutionized Peruvian archaeology and revealed the splendour of the ancient Moche civilisation. Walk through the excavation area and learn about the rituals, burials, and social structure of this powerful culture.

Next, visit the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, considered the most important museum in northern Peru. This modern museum displays the original jewellery, ornaments, and ceremonial objects found in the tomb of the Lord of Sipán. Your guide will explain the symbolism of the gold, silver, and precious stones, as well as the beliefs and customs of the Moche people.

Continue to the Brüning Museum, one of the oldest museums in the region and home to an extensive collection of artefacts from different pre-Hispanic cultures, including Lambayeque, Moche, and Chimú. This visit provides a broader understanding of the cultural development of northern Peru over thousands of years.

After the museum visits, enjoy free time for lunch in Chiclayo. Your guide can recommend local restaurants where you can try traditional dishes such as arroz con pato, seco de cabrito, or ceviche norteño.

In the evening, transfer to the bus terminal for your return journey to Trujillo. Upon arrival, you will be transferred back to your hotel, ending a full day of cultural discovery and unforgettable experiences.
