Chiclayo, home of more tombs and more archeological sites. ... These ones were of Moche origins as well I believe.Chiclayo, home of more tombs and more archeological sites. ... These ones were of Moche origins as well I believe....

Nov 19, 2008 - Lima to Chiclayo, Peru

What can we say about the route North out of Lima and on into Chiclayo, Peru except highway robbery!!! During our drive, we were stopped at least 7 times by the police; and that's when we started counting. ... To top off our day, we had a wreck!! Just as we entered Chiclayo, someone ran into the side of our truck. ... You'll see from the photos, it wasn't much damage, just lots of aggrevation.What can we say about the route North out of Lima and on into Chiclayo, Peru except highway robbery!!!

Oct 24, 2008 - Chiclayo and Trujillo

Despite being slightly sleep deprived we headed off for to see the 21 piles of dirt (sorry pyramids) that are the preinca ruins of Chiclayo. ... Check out the photos if you don´t believe me.Despite being slightly sleep deprived we headed off for to see the 21 piles of dirt (sorry pyramids) that are the preinca ruins of Chiclayo. ...

Mar 31, 2008 - Lima to Chiclayo

Spent an afternoon in Lima before catching the night bus to Chiclayo where we visited Tucume, the ruins of adobe (mud brick) pyramids built some 1000 years ago. ... Although badly eroded the structures are impressive.Spent an afternoon in Lima before catching the night bus to Chiclayo where we visited Tucume, the ruins of adobe (mud brick) pyramids built some 1000 years ago. ...

Mar 24, 2008 - A cultural day in Chiclayo

We spent a really interesting day in Chiclayo before our next night bus, visiting the museums in Lambayeque. ... We learned lots at the Museo Tumbas Reales De Sipan because Tara shamelessly trailed a Canadian tour (Da hid in embarrasement!).We spent a really interesting day in Chiclayo before our next night bus, visiting the museums in Lambayeque. ...

Oct 14, 2007 - Peru - Chiclayo, Huanchaco, Caraz

A naked country, harsh and exacting yet exceptionally beautiful. On the way to Chiclayo (our first stop and a bustling city) we had a 20 mile strech of dirt and Matt rather than taking the road went straight for the water . ... At Chiclayo we visited the Sapan museum. ... This contains the bodies of the king (and queen and kids and llamas and anybody else having to join the king) that were found intact (ie it hadn't been robbed) about 1o years ago.A naked country, harsh and exacting yet exceptionally beautiful.

May 30, 2006 - Chiclayo, Northern Peru

We took a bus from Trujillo, our taxi driver in Trujillo kindly directed us to a much better bus service (everyone here is so helpful and friendly), so we got to sit back in comfort and watch Tom Cruise running and kicking stuff in a bootleg copy of Mission Impossible 3. We visited the museum at Lambayeque which is probably one of the more impressive museums we have been to. ... Our guide Fernando, from Moche tours, was lovely and great craic.We took a bus from Trujillo, our taxi driver in Trujillo kindly directed us to a much better bus service (everyone here is so helpful and friendly), so we got to sit back in comfort and watch Tom Cruise running and kicking stuff in a bootleg copy of Mission Impossible 3.
