What to See?

1. Huaca Rajada
Also known as Sipán, it was the place where the Lord of Sipan tomb was found by the Peruvian archeologist Walter Alva and his team back in 1987. It belonged to the Moche culture and later to the Lambayeque society.

The Site is located in Chiclayo, about 4 hours away from the city of Trujillo. The site is composed of two terraced pyramids connected by a complex ramp system. Huaca Rajada was severely destroyed by ‘huaqueros’ (tomb robbers) but luckily they never found the greatest secret within its interior.

2. Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum
It is one of the most sophisticated museums in Latin America. The site looks to resemble Moche culture’s architectural style with upscale facilities and a dynamic that will allow you to discover the mysteries of such a powerful society of the pre-Inca era.

The museum showcases hundreds of Moche archeological findings, including pottery, metallurgical objects, dresses and much more, without even forgetting the main exhibit here, the tomb of the Lord of Sipan. Learn more about it here.
