Chan Chan Half-Day Tour with Huanchaco Beach and Site Museum
From €31 per person
See availability →This Chan Chan half day tour pairs the Chimu adobe city and its site museum with free time at Huanchaco, a beach known for its waves, in about five hours.
This Chan Chan half day tour, with Huanchaco added, is spent in two very different places: a pre-Columbian city built of adobe and a seaside village where the Pacific rolls in. It lasts around five hours, with a live bilingual guide leading the visit in English or Spanish.
The first stop is Chan Chan, the settlement of the Chimu culture and the largest mud city in the world, a World Heritage site. The guide walks you through it and takes you to the Nik Ann palace and the site museum, where valuable pieces tell part of the history of Peru.
- Chan Chan, the Chimu citadel
- Nik Ann palace and the site museum
- Huanchaco, with its waves and free time
Then the road leads to Huanchaco. You get free time to eat something or stroll along part of the area, and on the shore you can look at the caballitos de totora and some boats.
Round-trip transportation and the guide are included. Entrance tickets, food, extra expenses and hotel pick-up are not, and the tour ends in the Plaza de Trujillo. It is not suitable for wheelchair users, visually impaired people or those with pre-existing medical conditions.
