Description
Discover the wonders hidden within the El Brujo Archaeological Complex and learn about the Mochica culture on a guided tour with roundtrip transportation from Trujillo. See the towering Huaca Cao Viejo and study illustrations of geometric figures inscribed on walls. After pickup from Trujillo, depart towards the Chicama Valley, located about 33 kilometers north of Trujillo, to visit El Brujo Archaeological Complex. This ancient site has three main monuments: Huaca Prieta, Huaca Cao Viejo, and Huaca Cortada. In 1990, the excavations began and discovered the Huaca Cao Viejo, a pyramid that reaches 46 meters in height. See walls decorated with friezes and reliefs of colors that portray complex scenes and geometric figures. The Wiese Foundation has been in charge, along with National Geographic, to show the amazing discovery of a tomb that belongs to a pre-Columbia woman and leader in the fourth century. Enter inside the Museum of Cao and admire ancient objects. Discover the mystery of the mummy unearthed in this fantastic complex, The Lady of Cao, which is circa 1,700 years old. The mummy has been well-preserved due to an ancestral ritual. Afterward, make a last stop at the small town of Magdalena de Cao, located 5 kilometers from the El Brujo complex, and taste a traditional drink known as chicha de jora. The fermentation process lasts 1 year under ancestral methods. Later, head back to the city of Trujillo for drop-off.Includes
