Northern Peru Archaeology Tour Special 4 Days 3 Nights
We’ve got an extraordinary archaeology travel package for you with tours of incredible ancient sites along Peru’s Northern Coast.
Offer valid through February 2015.*
Tours include the cradle of the Moche Civilization, the Huaca de la Luna. That translates to “The Temple of the Moon” in English, but the amazingly preserved archaeological ruins are described by some as a true “Temple of Doom” because of the elaborately ritualized sacrifices that were performed there.
There is also the UNESCO World Heritage site Chan Chan, the administrative and religious capital of the Chimu culture, and the largest mud brick city in pre-Hispanic America. Also visit the nearby Temple of the Rainbow.
Another highlight is the Huaca Cao, which was ruled by a Moche priestess, the earliest known female ruler of pre-Columbian Peru. She’s been described as a sort of Cleopatra of South America.
Discover why this “Moche Trail” is fast becoming such a popular tourist route in Peru after Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
Besides white sand beaches and gorgeous natural terrain, this region of Peru is one of the the richest, most significant treasure troves of active archaeological discovery occurring right now in the world.
