Treasures of Peru Nothside

Highlights / General details

Visit to the “Huaca del Sol y la Luna” (Moon and Sun Archaeological Site) and its treasure. The Huaca del Sol, a pyramid of 20m high, according to the tradition it was built in only 3 days using 250 000 people and 70 million blocks of adobes. The Huaca de la Luna, located in front of the Huaca del Sol, is smaller. In some of its adobe walls still exist paintings where appears the Ai-Apaek God. Archaeologists have discovered a tomb with more than 40 dead soldiers.

Visit the Sicán Museum located in the village of Ferreñafe with its display of Sicán culture along with an interesting display of tombs from the Sicán nobility.

Visit Tumbas Reales Museum, which is a modern building with pyramidal infrastructure. It looks like a flattened pyramid formed by five prisms that are held together by leaning planes, with each prism bearing a replica of the banners found in the Tomb of the Lord of Sipán. Their colors, red and yellow, are similar to those used by the Moches throughout their decorations. The aim of the museum is to recreate the atmosphere of the temples of that civilization, serving as a museum as well as a mausoleum and resting place for the Lord of Sipán and his companions. It was opened on November 8, 2002 and is one of the most sophisticated museums in the region.
