Start your day in the Moche Valley, welcomed by a traditional family descended from the ancient builders of the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon — the center of power on Peru's north coast during the Moche era. Marvel at the remarkable adobe murals uncovered by archaeologists on the walls of the Temple of the Moon. Continue to Huanchaco, a charming fishing village where the ancient tradition of riding hand-woven reed boats known as "Caballitos de Totora" is still very much alive. In the afternoon, explore Chan Chan, the largest mud-brick city in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, spanning over 18 km². Enter the Nik-An Palace and discover its ceremonial plazas, sanctuaries, reservoirs, and burial grounds.
