Combination of gastronomy and history in Trujillo:
Visit to the archeological site of Las Huacas del Sol y la Luna, gigantic temples from the Moche culture (100-700 AC). Several structures on this site are still decorated with well conserved paintings on the walls. Many beautiful decorated golden and ceramic objects found on this archeological site can be seen in the site museum.
Transfer to the coastal town of Huanchaco. Here local fishermen still use the same model of small reet boats as the Moche civilization did more that 1000 years ago: Caballitos de Totora”. In a local fish restaurant we receive a Ceviche demonstration and learn how to make a special ceviche norteño. Lunch based on fish and seafruits included.
Afterwards visit to Chan Chan, capital of the Chimu culture between 900 AD until the Inca’s arrived around1470 AD. The most impressive structures on this site include: Huaca Arco Iris and Palacio Nik-An with different nature, bird and fish motives.
To finish the tour we show you artisanal sweet desserts made by Doña Carmen.
