    The more known site and actually part of the UNESCO world heritage is area known as Chan Chan. It was the largest city in pre-Columbian era.
    When we were arriving we have seen piles of old buildings crumbling away. It looked like a shame but once we discovered that the site has originally around 20 sqm It was rather understandable.
    Only part of this huge area is preserved and can be accessed with a guide. The weather slightly caught up with us and light drizzle start falling when we walked around.
    The vastness of the place is amazing and at its best must have been an amazing place to be.
    We didn't have that much time but our guide explained about the Moche culture and their habits while inhabiting this city.
