Pyramids of the Sun + The Moon Tour

Travel back in time to the origins of the Moche civilisation, one of the oldest in America, on this tour of the temples of the Sun and the Moon.

Tour Details

At the specified time, we will meet at Jiron Orbegoso Street. Once gathered, we will head to the Moche countryside to see the structures of the Moche culture.

Upon arrival, we will view the large walls of the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon nearby.

Participants will enter these monumental constructions and walk through various levels, admiring the colors of the walls that retain paintings with warrior and religious motifs. The tour will showcase rites and ceremonies practiced by the Mochicas, including human sacrifices in the temple's central square.

The effects of erosion from winds and rains will also be discussed, along with the history of illegal looters who affected these sites. After exploring for an hour and a half, we will proceed to the village of Huaca Chica, where you will have two hours of free time for a meal at a local restaurant.

After recharging, we will return to the Plaza de Armas in Trujillo, concluding the tour approximately 4 hours after it begins.

Partial Closures

The Huaca del Sol is closed until further notice, and will only be viewable from a distance.
