Ancient History The desert coast is the birthplace of some of the most important Pre-Columbian cultures of Peru: the Moche, Chimú, and Sicán, who thrived in fertile coastal river valleys, on the seashore, and in the dry Equatorial forest. The Moche Route highlights the main architectural remains –huacas (sacred sites), pyramids, and huge mud cities, like Chan Chan, largest in Pre-Hispanic America– and includes visits to the most contemporary museums that display gold, ceramic, and textile artifacts, as well as mommies of important rulers from the regions. All of this, surrounded by incredibly beautiful countryside. In the middle of the country sits the city of Cajamarca, the first place the Spanish met the Incas and site of the infamous Rescue Room for Atahualpa. The rainforest was the cradle of amazing cultures, like the Chachapoyas, who constructed the powerful fortress of Kuélap on top of a rugged mountain in the midst of lovely wild country. Moche Route Main sites to visit From Chiclayo (Lambayeque) Túcume A fertile valley where the Sicán built an impressive group of pyramids. Sicán Archeological Complex Group of adobe pyramids and site of the Señor de Sicán (Lord of Sicán) burial grounds. Huaca Rajada – Sipán Tomb of an extremely important Moche ruler: the Señor de Sipán (Lord of Sipán). Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum Brüning Archeology and Ethnography Museum

From Trujillo (La Libertad) Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon Moche administrative and religious centers. Pyramid of the Dragon or of the Rainbow A Chimu adobe pyramid.

dventures au natural It’s summer all year long on Peru’s northern coast, and on its warm beaches, you will find the perfect place to relax, ride some awesome waves, or even sail on the “caballitos”, traditional canoes that are built by hand using reeds and have been used by fishermen since the Pre-Colombian era.

Playa de Máncora

The surf on the Peruvian coast is one of the most consistent in the world, with a diversity of currents running north to south. The best months for surfing are October and March.

Punta Ballenas

Gihan Tubbeh

Reaching the beaches is relatively easy from the Pan American Highway. There are hotels, lodges and many restaurants found on each beach. We recommend hiring specialized services to visit beaches like Lobitos, Poémape, and Cabo Blanco, with world-class surf.

Abundant Nature Peru is one of 17 mega diverse countries on Earth. Just in the northern zone, more than 1200 animal species have been registered, among them being endemic birds like the marvelous spatuletail (Loddigesia mirabilis) and the white-winged guan (Penelope albipennis). Eastward, there is the Amazon, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, filled with virgin country, waterfalls, lakes, and natural reserves. It also is habitat of indigenous communities and a countless number of unique plants and animals in the world. There is a legend that speaks of a monstrous snake named Yacumama which joined with the earth and transformed into a river in order to preserve life. That river is the Amazon. Main sites to visit: From Moyobamba and Tarapoto (San Martin) In Tarapoto, Lake Azul, Lake Lindo, and Aguashiyacu Falls and Tununtunumba Falls.

From the cities of Tumbes and Piura Tumbes Mangrove National Sanctuary, Tumbes National Reserve, and Cerros de Amotape National Park.
