Tucume is a magnificent, massive complex of 26 adobe pyramids and was constructed by the Sicán civilization around A.D. 1000 and developed over a period of nearly 500 years. The site was settled and enlarged by the Chimú culture in the 14th century and, finally, occupied by the Incas
The site where the Lord of Sipán was discovered in 1987, this Moche burial ground was overlooked by archaeologists for decades. The Sipán sarcophagus held greater riches than any other found to date in Peru and, today, is recognized as one of the most outstanding of the Americas
Known as the Capital of Friendship, it is a true delight for history and archaeology buffs, as it is home to extraordinary archaeological complexes, and two of Peru’s best museums
