The trip was good but boring, only you can see some walls and one place was located in the middle of the city, that was boring.
You have to pay tickets and all places in Chan Chan. It's better the beach of huanchaco. An important archeological site located in the Moche Valley in the coastal city of Trujillo. This is the largest city in pre colombian era in South America and largest adobe city in the world. It was the residence of the king, queens and priests and also served as commercial, political and administrative center.
It was Chimu Kingdom's capital in Moche Second biggest city biult out of adobe. Patricia and her driver In Trujillo, you will be offered tours to Chan Chan, but you can do it on your own without a problem. Take any bus going to Huanchaco and ask if they pass Chan Chan. If you don't speak Spanish, just saying 'Chan Chan' is enough Wonderful very large ruin to visit. Our tour guide was wonderful explaining the history of Chan Chan before the Incas.
Our guide only speak Spanish but my daughter and her Peruvian husband translate to us. Its not to far outside of Trujillo. I highly recommend this tour, in Spanish or English.
The guide was so helpful and friendly, and provided soooo much great and interesting information. He even helped me plan my excursions in Huaraz and Chachapoyas. Don't miss it! A really fascinating site of a civilization gone and before the Incas. This is an extensive excavation and you will want to walk around and take a lot of photos.
