Itinerary
09:30 We head to the Moche countryside and appreciate the way of life of the Mocheros, both in their craftsmanship, expressed in the manufacture of ceramics, leather work, wood and stone carvings, basketry, among others, and in their gastronomy.
Finally we arrive at the Huacas of the sun and the moon, considered a Mochica sanctuary made up of a group of monuments that physically represented the capital of the Mochica culture from the first century B.C. to the ninth century.
Time for lunch
Then we continue to Chanchan, formed by 9 citadels or palaces. Each one has similar formal characteristics such as: its monumental scale, the very restricted access, the complexity and elaboration of its architectural forms.
We continue the tour arriving at Huanchaco, traditional fishing cove, whose inhabitants to date retain many of the customs of their Mochica ancestors; so much so that the tiny boats called “caballitos” made of reeds are still the main working tool of the current fisherman huanchaquero.
6:00 pm End of the tour.
