See availability →A Huacas de Moche and Chan Chan full day tour that adds the Moche countryside and a ceramics workshop, then ends on the Huanchaco pier, with transport and entry tickets.
This Huacas de Moche and Chan Chan full day tour begins at the Plaza Mayor of Trujillo and heads first into the fields southeast of the city. In the Moche countryside you learn how country people live and what traditions they keep, stop to see fertility huacos, and see ceramics being made in front of you in the Cerro Blanco workshop of local artisans.
Then come the archaeological sites. Next stop is the Huacas of Moche museum, and after it the Sun and Moon pyramids, where the guide explains the Mochica, who lived before the Incas. After a lunch break back in the city centre, the afternoon goes to Chan Chan: the site museum first, then the citadel, with friezes of birds, fish and other sculptures to admire along its walls.
