See availability →An El Brujo day trip from Trujillo to Huaca Cao Viejo and the Lady of Cao and her tattooed mummy, with a regional lunch in the coastal town of Magdalena de Cao.
This El Brujo day trip from Trujillo puts the Moche world in front of you, from painted walls to royal jewellery.
At Huaca Cao Viejo, a Moche pyramid famous for wall reliefs in many colours and for its sacred art, you explore the temple. In the site museum you stand in front of the Lady of Cao, a tattooed mummy and the first known woman to rule in this region. Around her are displayed golden crowns, ceremonial sceptres and sacred jewellery in a rich collection, which shows how important she was.
The trip closes in Magdalena de Cao, a charming coastal town, where a regional lunch brings local flavours, fresh ingredients and traditional drinks to the table, a meal that also supports the local community. Entrance to the site museum is part of the visit.
Check the booking page for whether the lunch is included, as the details differ on this point.
