Offered in: English and 1 more

Our tour is designed for small groups, with a minimum of two people confirmed departure, no need to wait for a larger group.

It is a good complement to the Sipan route, the most famous we have, because it takes advantage of more outdoor places.
The Sicán museum has the richest tombs found in Peru, Túcume is a site with twenty-six pyramids, of which one is open to the public and inside you can see the thousand-year-old mural art and a forest full of life where hopefully we will see owls, woodpeckers, iguanas and more. We finish with the historic center of Lambayeque, our old capital, full of vernacular colonial architecture, very photographable churches and the possibility of lunch in a house built in 1789

This tour is ideal for lovers of archaeology, nature, history and good gastronomy.

    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.

    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.
