The El Brujo Complex Tour begins with a scenic drive through the Chicama Valley to the sacred Moche site of Huaca Cao Viejo. Explore its impressive high-relief friezes and visit the on-site Cao Museum, home to the famous Lady of Cao and her dazzling funerary treasures. Discover the mysteries of Moche rituals and art, then stop in Magdalena de Cao to meet local artisans and taste traditional food.
Your adventure begins at 8:00 am, with a pickup from your hotel in Trujillo. Enjoy a scenic drive through the fertile Chicama Valley, passing vast sugarcane fields and rural landscapes rich in pre-Columbian history. As we approach the El Brujo Complex, your guide will introduce you to the Moche culture and the mysticism that surrounds this region.
Arriving at the archaeological site, we explore Huaca Cao Viejo, a massive adobe pyramid adorned with stunning high-relief friezes that depict warriors, ceremonies, and sacrifices. Then, we enter the Cao Museum, where you’ll meet the legendary Lady of Cao, whose well-preserved body and intricate tattoos reveal a powerful female leader of the Moche era. You’ll also see ceremonial items and a detailed reconstruction of her face.
