Chan Chan Tour from Trujillo with Nik An and Paso Horses
From €31 per person
See availability →A Chan Chan tour from Trujillo through the restored Nik An complex and the site museum, with lunch in Huanchaco and a Paso horse and Marinera show to close the day.
The Chan Chan tour from Trujillo starts with an introduction rather than a long walk. At the site museum, ceramics, wooden sculptures, a legend about the Chimú origins and a scale model of the entire city prepare you for what you are about to enter. An official tourism guide takes you through the day, and the pick-up can be from your hotel or the airport.
Chan Chan is made of nine compounds, and Nik An is the single one that has been restored and opened to visitors. Inside you walk between plazas and corridors, past the administrative areas and a cemetery, and many walls carry beautiful reliefs on the theme of the sea. The complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Next you drive to Huanchaco for lunch, an old fishing town where the fishermen still use the famous caballitos de totora. The last stop is a show with the Peruvian Paso horse and the Marinera, emblems of local tradition. Entry tickets, food and drinks are not included.
