Description

A designated driver will meet you at your Chiclayo hotel and transport you to the Museum of the Archaeological Complex of Huaca Rajada-Sipán, a remarkable site that highlights the pre-Columbian Moche and Lambayeque civilizations.

Here, you’ll explore a significant collection of huacas or ceremonial pyramids. A knowledgeable guide will lead you through the site, showcasing two platforms, one towering at an impressive 35 metres (114.8 ft). The mausoleum, constructed over six distinct levels, is particularly noteworthy, with the remains of the Lord of Sipán situated at the sixth level—an astonishing moment to witness!

Your private tour will then progress to the Lambayeque region, where you will visit the Museum of the Royal Tombs of Sipán. Opened in 2002, this archaeological museum is inspired by the architectural styles of the Moche and Lambayeque cultures.

As you explore the expansive museum—over 3,000 square metres (32,291 square feet)—a variety of pre-Columbian artifacts will come into view. Highlights include replicas of the tombs belonging to the Lord of Sipán, the old Lord of Sipán, and various Mochica sacred items.

Upon completion of your museum visit, the driver will return you to your hotel in Chiclayo, concluding this enriching 5.5-hour private tour.
