The tour given by Julio, was very knowledgeable and answered several questions I had along the way. The tour lasted about 7hrs, with 3 different stops. I recommend this tour for people who are interested in ancient Peruvian pyramids and want to see artifacts at the museum. The only negative thing was the tour vans level of AC. It didn’t get cool enough with the heat.

2. Daily excursion to Sipán (museum and archeological site) we start earlier.

We started two hours before the competition, at 8:30 in the morning, this gives us more time in each place to visit. Our tour guides are bilingual and the office staff too. Ventarrón, our oldest pyramid, sometimes needs repair of structures or maintenance, so if it is not possible to visit it we offer you the Brünning museum, here is a very complete sample of the entire history of our region with more than two thousand archaeological pieces originals Consider this in case a change is necessary. We always do three places per day. We stop at Lambayeque, in a traditional restaurant, for lunch, which is not included. Upon return we leave the group at your hotel, bus station or in the main city square.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Professional guidance service in English or Spanish

Exclusions: Lunch is not included in the price, nor tickets.

Miguel and his driver Cesar, of Runa Tourismo were great. He has spent 10 years as a guide and really knows his historical and archaeological stuff. A big bonus for us was that he is a bird watching aficionado and although we don't have any bird watching experience he loaned us binoculars and patiently directed us to see and enjoy a dozen or more very pretty and unusual birds.
