TRUJILLO & chan chan ruins

Description:

This wonderful program includes the visit to the amazing ruins of Chan Chan, an ancient citadel that once hold the treasures of the Chimu kingdom. Chan Chan has been considered one of the largest cities of mud in the world, enclosing an area of over 28 square kilometres. This colossal city was built entirely with mud bricks around 1000 AD and it has withstood many natural disaster, including heavy rainfall, earthquakes and various Niño phenomenon.

In order to make this visit even more interesting, we will first visit the museum of Chan Chan, an interesting place that show ancient relics found at the site. It also displays a good table showing Peruvian archaeology in the context of world history. Here we will learn many aspects about the construction of Chan Chan and also about its builders, the Chimu Culture. Later on we will drive to the gate of the ruins and together with our local guide we will explore a portion of the city, visiting its main sectors, including temples, large plazas and narrow streets with amazing high walls depicting marine creatures. After touring around Chan Chan we will return to the hotel.
