I spent some really interesting hours in the archaeological complex El Brujo. It covers thousands of years of uninterrupted human occupation. The complex is situated about 70 km north of Trujillo. It is about a 45 minutes drive from Trujillo and absolutely worth the trip. The latest excavations carried out at the pyramid called Huaca Cao have revealed a ceremonial site that is 1800 years old. It was built with the intention to bury a royal person. They found a mummified young female person. The condition of the mummy was so good that the could see tattooes on different parts of her body. We could see the body in the museum. She was called: La dama de Cao, (The Lady of Cao) and we could see a lot of artefacts and jewellery. After seeing the museum, we walked around in the huaca, and it was really interesting. This was the Moche culture, and I recommend reading about the Moche before you visit El Brujo. And it is also interesting to make a stop in the nearby village Magdalena de Cao. Lots of nice paintings on the walls of the houses.

I most see if you already saw Chan Chan, Huaca del sol and Huaca de la Luna. They have a " mummified woman ruler". The site is one hour away from the city of Trujillo but the trip is worth it.

Awesome site! Didn’t see a witch or wizard but the paintings and walls were very impressive! One of the better sites around Trujillo, and quite straightforward to reach without a tour, just leave yourself plenty of time for the return as the colectivo was slow to fill back from Magdalena

The archaeological site of El Brujo is absolutely amazing! The ruins are impressive and the museums are very well organized and informative. This was an important ceremonial complex of the Moche culture, dating back to around 100–750 AD. You can still see the remains of pyramids, temples, and incredible murals that tell stories of rituals and daily life. One of the highlights is learning about the Señora de Cao, a female ruler discovered here, whose tomb and artifacts are beautifully displayed in the museum. A fascinating place that combines history, culture, and stunning views of the coast—definitely worth the visit!

This place was see inspiring considering it was built 1000 years before the Incas. You could easily spend all day walking around

Not quite as impressive size wise as some of the other archeological sites we had visited. However the number of tombs discovered so far really give an insight to the changing burial techniques over time. A lack of funds has temporarily stopped any further excavation. If you visit Peru it is still worth the effort.

Pyramids nowhere near as impressive as later Inca, Azrec or Mayan structures and they have been greatly eroded by rain. However the excavations show an advanced culture fir ghe time. The museum gives an excellent interpretation and there is a room full of gold clothing, ornaments etc that the Spaniards missed giving us all a better insight into the distant. past

A beautiful ( shaded ) walking area with huge intricate sculptures. An inspiring walk through history told through stunning art pieces.

Very long to walk but covered with bug and incredible statues.

Interesting walk and sculptures, perhaps one of the best uses of the site of a city drain I've ever seen!

Beautiful mural artwork depicting the history and cultural stories of the cultures that developed in the are for the past 4,000 years. It’s sad that this is not more prominently displayed in a more central part of town. Obviously, a lot of work has been put into creating these sculptures and murals. We enjoyed walking the entire path to see the whole display.

We enjoyed what could be described as an outdoor museum

Beautiful statues about our Lambayeque and Moche Culture. I really liked the bikeway around it!

It's a must-see. You'll find statutes and representations of the history of Lambayeque and its ancient cultures. I'd say this is an outdoor museum.

Wonderful beach. I found more restaurants and attractions such as Surf's class and aerobics.

Very nice beach. Not to much people. Nice and cheap restaurant's close to the beach

Good place to go with you family 🏖️🌅

Chevere

Super super bella

Perfect

Relaxxxxx

It's not a huge place. It looks nice and well cared. However, there are not many places to sit comfortably, it's a open area so one must be aware and noise of the cars when there is traffic around makes it not an ideal place to relax completely.

Great spot close to downtown Chiclayo where you can take a walk with your loved ones.

Very nice park, for the entire family This ride takes you around the area and park

Overrated. Is just a street with few statues, completely out of the place. You can easily notice that they put it there with no sense, it does not match with the style of the city. Is "nice" for people living there but I wouldn't recommend it as a tourist attraction.

Nice public place for a walk, but one thing i dont like people dont respect nature, they should keep it clean and avoid their dogs do poo all over the park

Very quiet, pleasant and well located, has a playground for children. Only a little more security is necessary, especially at night.

It’s nice park. If you are near, I would recommend you take a walk, but don’t go out of your way to visit this place.

Aménnnnnn

Excelent reception for all people visit

Pretty quiet.

I love

Uff

Ok

Love it

Full of everything! I wanted to sea all herbs from Peru and I saw them..and not only them…

A typical busy market place. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables which are very ripe and ready to eat. Then there are plenty of fresh chickens, beef, fresh and salted fish. Also the spices and sauces that the Peruvian woman make and sell are simply amazing. Be sure to wonder down the cocoa isle even if just for the fragrance. There is alot of what i believe are imported goods from China like handbags, jewelry, tupperwares, cooling utensils and whatever else you can possibly need.

It's a safe place, in the center of the city, people are akinded, a good place if you're looking for cheap food or clothes

Huge amazing market where you can find everything you could possibly need. Many of the vendors and people were extremely welcoming and waved us over so we could take photos with them. You can ask anyone questions for what you need or what a particular item is. The Mercado de brujos has some really interesting trinkets, herbal remedies, and symbols for any ceremony you’d like to perform. Ayahuasca and San Pedro can be found as well. We ate cabrito at one of the food stalls and it was one of our favorite meals in Perú so far. You could explore the market for hours.

Got my breakfast at a smoothie stand. I had one with everything they even added a beer cusqueña to the drink. With added vitamins maca and algorobina. I bought some wooden spoons for work back in the states 12 for 30 soles. A steal for real artisan sapote wood even bought a cutting board for another 30. It's great to see all the locals and variety of fresh produce and crafts that they sell. Dont forget to keep your phone tucked away.

Great local market with everything you could possibly want, including common groceries, fresh proteins, fruit and vegetables, household items, toys, cloths, footware, gifts.

Everything Peru has to offer can be found in this market.

Worth to visit, guide doesn’t speak English though.

This is a good place to learn more about the Suri, also known as the ostrich or Andean rhea inhabits deserts, saline soils, Lepidophylum shrub steppes, little flooded areas and wetlands. You will pay S/.10 soles per person with a guide in Spanish. I'm not sure if the guide speak English.

Was ok to visit. Just see same animals over and over. The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable on the birds.

Nice place good informacion the avestruz

Ok

Finalmente, podrás comprar las diferentes cosas que venden en la tienda, es decir, huevos de avestruz o de emú, entre otros productos para apoyar a que se siga manteniendo el lugar.

The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum near Chiclayo is a must-visit if you love history and archaeology. The pyramid-style architecture itself reflects the ancient Moche culture, and inside you walk through the story of the Lord of Sipán step by step, from excavation to the stunning treasures found in his tomb. The gold, silver, ceramics, and textiles give a deep insight into the artistry and beliefs of the Mochica civilization. The museum is very well maintained — clean, organized, and carefully curated with proper lighting and security that protect these priceless artifacts. The exhibits are presented with respect and detail, making it easy to appreciate the importance of this culture in Peru’s history. Some explanations are only in Spanish and weekends can be a bit crowded, but overall it is one of the best museums in Peru and highly recommended 😊😊😊

Visited this great museum in March this year. It’s a fantastic experience. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby

Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking around it's a very impressive museum and well thought out

Really well presented, the artifacts are fasincating and you'll get a lot out of it if you're an enthusiast or casual history fan. It has great english translations for the first couple of rooms and then they abruptly stop and don't reappear for the rest of the museum.

Excellent museum. Make sure to put personal belongings in locker as they do not allow large bags. Pay for a guide or you will not get the full experience. A must see in peru. I was lucky enough to be there for thier 35 year anniversary today.

Beautiful museum, with amazing exhibits, really enjoyed, paid extra for a guided tour, but unfortunately the English speaking guide, spoke hardly any English. Very few of the exhibits had English explanations. But I still enjoyed my time here

Unexpectedly amazing. Probably the most complete archaeological museum I've ever been to. Storyline is very well done and items are kept on careful display. You will be amazed here. I do hope the museum will translate more of the information to English. It seemed they stopped doing that somewhere halfway, which is a shame!

Lambayeque’s first museum, great experience, the museum has three floors and great figurines that tell an amazing story!

A well-laid out museum with some nice selection of Pre-Colombian artifacts across a large period of time. There are three floors to view, and all of the signs are in Spanish, so it helps if you can read some. The array of ceramics is quite impressive from the different time periods are quite impressive, as well as the well-preserved mummified remains on display. I tend to tour museums slower than almost anyone I know, and this only took 1.5 hours. If you can't read Spanish, and decide to visit here, you could view the whole place in 45 minutes or less. The entry cost is 8 soles. There was a fun display of fertility and sexuality artifacts while we visited as well (adults only it said).

The Bruning Museum, though overshadowed by it's more illustrious neighbors, is still well worth a visit. What it lacks in shear quantity of gold and treasure it makes up for in the way it contextualizes the artifacts and history of the region. The collection is fascinating and beautiful and is organized so as to elucidate the succession of cultures and the ways in which they were influenced by their predecessors and neighbors. The museum also shows photographs and diagrams of how the artifacts were found and excavated. Very informative!

This is another museum to visit in Lambayeque. It's near the Royal Tombs Museum and you can find a lot of pieces belonging to the Mochica culture.

Incredible collection of the cultures of these lands , amazed !

Very interesting museum, featuring finds from a nearby "Huaca" site. My favorites were a masterpiece gold earring from the Lambayeque civilization and earlier ceramics from Moche culture using animal forms as pottery tops. Cool!

Interesting museum that compliments the Sipan museum.

Visited the Sicán National Museum on Friday, June 27, 2025. We arrived a bit past lunchtime, so admittedly we were a bit rushed and slightly museum-fatigued after visiting several archaeological sites recently. Still, this place offered a unique glimpse into a culture I had never heard of before—the Sicán, who succeeded the Moche and thrived in the La Leche River area between roughly 750–1375 AD, and were succeeded by the Chimor or Chimú culture. The exhibits are rich with symbolism and feature striking imagery: a recurring figure resembling the fanged deity (but fangless), holding a tumi knife in the left hand and a decapitated head in the right hand, often with snakes and claws. The collection includes an impressive array of gold artifacts, which were a highlight. Be aware: all signage and information is in Spanish, and no English-speaking guides were available during our visit. Fortunately, my Peruvian wife translated a few of the exhibits for us, but non-Spanish speakers might find it harder to engage deeply without a translator. Still, at just 8 soles for admission, it’s a very affordable stop for anyone interested in lesser-known pre-Columbian cultures. Also, note that we pretty much had the museum to ourselves. We only encountered one other small group at the end of our visit.

Don't waste your time (unless you have really nothing else left to do) ... This museum focused mostly on dioramas and replicas, rather than actual artefacts. Not well maintained - many lights are gone, making it difficult to see the few exhibits they have. Not really a big deal, but there is only Spanish description. It is also inconveniently located 2km from the town center. Overall, I'd focus on the many other sights in the area instead ...

currently closed without any information online, only on the site… If you wanna go, colectivos from Chiclayo run regularly for 5 Soles. They drop you in Avenida Tacna and from there you have to walk for about 10 mins (or get a moto taxi)

Why the guide and tour operator took us to this place instead of the Sipan Museo on the way to Tucume is really disapointing. This place is most replica not real artefacts. No information in English. Do not waste ur time go to Sipan instead. There are no people here so....

Depends what you expect. Expected more info about the ruins and finds, less about how life was and how things were made. 8 Soles.

🤔 Ok

The museum is undergoing a renovation of items displayed, therefore a lot was not in display.

Nice place to visit. Can walk up a nearby hill to get a good view of the whole place and the surrounding area. There is a way to get in round the left hand side you follow a dirt track road in and you don't have to pay the entrance fee that way.

A bit lacking in explanation and not that much to visit, I think about 2/3 is closed but we walked around anyway. You can't visit the sacred stone (that was closed off). We did route a+b, which I would recommend, but route b is a quite a long walk to get to the excavation site, which you just walk around. There's a bit of information, but not much. If you are going to Trujillo, it might be better to save your visit for the Huaca de la Luna, which is 15min away from Trujillo and a better site to visit in my opinion.

An amazing place to visit

Good place rich in history of ancient culture. RECOMMENDATION: Bring your own hat/cap and water bottle (Please do not throw empty bottles in this place). PD.: This is a arid place, if you don't like walk on rustic pathways and under the sweltering sun so this is not for you.

I really love it! You can do different activities such as: ride bicycle, walking, see culture and my advice is: taking photos a lot! It was great and beautiful

Probably should have more stars, but they didn't tell me when I chose option 3, both routes for 12 Soles, that the main sites on one route were closed. They'll stay closed for several months. The on site museum is good.

Nice archeological site! Nice miradors too for sunset or sunrise. Very interesting museum which I really recommend to understand the story and the actual life of this region.

We caught a combi to Tucume from Lambayeque and then walked to the museum. After a long and very hot walk we arrived at the museum and were told the site is closed due to the rains, and only the museum was open, but without a discount in price. There was no way to view the pyramids up close. Then we couldn't find a moto to take us back to town, so we had another long walk back. I wouldn't recommend visiting unless you can confirm the site is open.

The museum is open. The rest seems to be closed. Or guide would not let us go close to the pyramides. They where closed?? This looks like a place that is not operating on a good tourist level. Disappointing.

Real good museum about the history of the region. Signage in both English and Spanish and the old pyramids are absolutely breathtaking. Spent 1 hour in the museum and 2 hours walking around the pyramids. Don’t forgot to go to the mirador and see the hairless dogs indigenous to the area. Highly recommend. It’s S2.5 combi ride from Chiclayo and S3 motortaxi ride once you get to Tucume to the museum.

Interesting things tying together the present and past. And everything was in English too!

Its a small museum but nice. Start here before going to the pyramid and mirador.

Some reproductions & much original artifacts. Lots of good signage on BOTH Spanish and English.
