Excursion Sicán, Túcume Pyramids and historic and monumental Lambayeque.
This trip is a very good complement to the famous Sipán route, but in itself it is a very good experience. Archeology, history, nature, architecture and very good food in one trip. The most interesting museum with the richest tombs, the valley of the pyramids with a forest that hides them, where we can visit the interior of one of them - the only one open to the public - and the most photogenic city we have, with a stop to have lunch in a beautiful 19th century house.

Sican Museum
Our most informative museum has rooms with very good information on the history, archaeology, geography and nature of the region. Here are two royal tombs with amazing treasures, one of them has more than 1'200 Kg of extraordinary jewels and the other is the largest tomb found in this part of the world. The museum has very accurate and photographable dioramas and a gold room dedicated to objects found in the tombs.
Tucume Pyramids
It is the largest archaeological site with pyramids in our region, there are 26 structures and only one is open to the public, it is called Huaca Balsas, which has very well preserved mural art with figures that represent the marine activity of the Peruvian ancestors from about a thousand years ago. and our program includes a visit inside. To get to this pyramid you walk through a small dry forest and there is a chance to see wildlife from the equatorial dry forest. Our visit also includes a viewpoint near the site museum, but not the visit to the interior of the museum, but this is optional and can be coordinated with the tour guide.
Lambayeque
Our visit ends in the historic center of Lambayeque, which has classic architecture from several centuries of the colonial and republican era of our region, its buildings and churches are the most beautiful and also the most preserved, one of them is a mansion that now functions as restaurant with very good food. We are the only agency that offers this type of experience in the region, having lunch in a house of about 300 years of extraordinary and well-kept architectural beauty. The walk through the historic center and its monuments and squares is done after lunch.
