Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. She made history come alive to foreign tourists largely unfamiliar with the Moche and Chimu civilizations. Bravo!

Huaca de La Luna (Moon temple) was an unexpected highlight. We also enjoyed the old town centre in Trujillo and the opportunity for lunch on our own in Huanchaco.
