Huaca Rajada complex

When we talk about the Lord of Sipán, we’re talking about one of the most emblematic figures of the Mochica culture. The Lord of Sipán was an ancient Mochica ruler from the 3rd century, whose discovery proved far-reaching for world archeology as his tomb was the first royal burial site found intact in South America, and belonging to a Peruvian civilization prior to the Inca Empire.

The royal tomb of the Lord of Sipán was discovered by Dr. Walter Alva and his team of researchers in 1987, in Huaca Rajada, an archeological complex southeast of the city of Chiclayo. According to studies, the Mochica ruler was 1.65 meters tall, approximately 30 years old and probably died between 240 and 310 AD. He was found in a wooden coffin, the first of its kind found in America. Next to his head and feet were two skeletons of young women and the skeletons of a dog and two llamas on either side. Covered from head to toe in gold, silver, copper and precious stones, his skull was on a gold plate, showing how important this ancient leader was to the Mochica culture.

witches market or Bruning Museum 

A market where you can buy everything, although the most striking is usually related to witchcraft. Here we will find the necessary ingredients to make any magic potion, dried snakes, preparations for spells, all kinds of herbal and leaf-based remedies and ceremonial objects such as masks, drums, whistles, etc… A very curious place full of color and exoticism. Especially in the morning, the market is full of people, because as we tell you here, not only products for witchcraft are purchased, but also daily food. However, for the tourist what is interesting lies in the products of magic and sorcery.

Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum

Given the cultural significance of the findings and under the impetus of their discoverer, Walter Alva, the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum was constructed in the city of Lambayeque, in the department of Lambayeque, itself considered to be one of the most important tourist attractions in the northern part of the country. Opened in 2002 and with an architectural design inspired by the ancient truncated pyramids of the Mochica culture, its main attraction is the tomb of the Lord of Sipán, its jewels, pottery and funerary offerings.

Fantastic day spent with Dilser!!!Dilser has excellent English skills and completely helped us understand everything that we had questions about.Visited Temple of the Moon, lunch in Trujillo, followed by Chan Chan. Not once during the day did we feel rushed or like we were asking too many questions.I can’t emphasize the quality of this tour - his patience with our questions, knowledge of the historical and archeological processes involved, as well as his local expertise far surpass many other tours we have been on. At times, we felt like we were with a celebrity - he is well known and locals always smile when he comes around.Highly recommend Dilser and Norte Expedition Tours if you are in the Trujillo and Huanchaco region.

Just had a tour with Dilsar Alfaro Oliva. We visited Chan Chan and the Temple of the Moon. It was a brilliant day. Dilser made the places come alive. His knowledge was extensive and he was incredibly interesting. We would highly recommend having him as a guide.

We had a great time visiting El Brujo and the Museo Cao with Dilser. He's very knowledgeable, with a lot of info for us and very nice to speak slower because my Spanish is so limited. I actually learnt a lot about Peru and I would encourage more travellers to see the north!
