    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.

    We continue to Magdalena de Cao, a small town where Moche traditions live on. Here, we visit local artisans, see traditional pottery techniques, and taste chicha de jora, a sacred ancestral drink. After enjoying some free time to explore or shop for crafts, we return to Trujillo and drop off at your hotel.
