See availability →A Lord of Sipan tour from Chiclayo takes you into the tomb at Huaca Rajada and on to the site museum, with a live guide and hotel pick-up in about three hours.
This Lord of Sipan tour from Chiclayo starts at Huaca Rajada, the archaeological complex on Peru's northern coast where a Moche ruler was laid to rest more than 1,500 years ago. A guide leads you through the site and into the burial chamber, so you can stand at the real tomb, the richest ever found in Latin America.
Along the way the guide explains who the Moche were and why their art and architecture are so admired, and what the find revealed about a pre-Columbian civilization that thrived on this coast.
From the tomb you continue to the Site Museum at Huaca Rajada, where the gold and silver treasures and other objects linked to the Lord of Sipan are displayed. The guide talks you through each piece and what it says about Moche life and beliefs.
