This Moche pyramids and Chan Chan tour covers northern Peru's pre-Columbian story in a single outing, starting and ending at Trujillo's main square. A guide leads the visit, and the group travels by minibus or coach.
The first stop is the Moche shrines of the Sun and Moon pyramids, where you learn how society in the Trujillo valley was organised in that period. Next comes Huanchaco, a fishing village known for its Caballitos de Totora, with free time to have lunch.
The afternoon belongs to the Chimú. Chan Chan, the citadel they built, is a World Heritage Site and the biggest adobe city on the continent. On the walk you follow the walls of Nik An and pass granaries, old cemeteries and ceremonial squares.
