This is not far out of Trujillo and a must see if you are in the area. Go to the museum first to get the historical perspective and then enjoy this relatively new excavation. Many uncoverings to see.

We booked a 3 day private tour with Peru Tours. We told them what we wanted to see and they put together an itinerary that included a transfer from Trujillo to Chiclayo. We were very happy with our guide, Ever Paredes, he was informative, attentive, and spoke very good English.
