The second city of barro del mundo, chan chan and los chimú

Chachapoyas, mochicas, lambayeque-sicán ... and we still had one more culture to discover in the #LatTrip before arriving in Lima: the Chimú or Chimor Culture. In Trujillo we visited what was its capital: Chan Chan, the largest mud city in the world at the time - and now occupies the second place behind Bam, in Iran. At its peak it occupied an area of 22 km2 and had a population of between 60,000 and 300,000 inhabitants - archaeologists disagree on this point. Again, even more in this case, we decided that going through adobe avenues without an explanation would not be the best way to get to know this great culture and we opted for a guided tour.

These are just some of the options for adventure and outdoor sports that can be practiced in one of the most beautiful natural settings on the planet.

Nazca Lines

It is often believed that these lines can only be seen from the sky. That is why they have generated all kinds of questions and lucubrations. Were the Nazca lines dedicated to the gods? Was there at that time possible technology for the magnitude of this work? Were they landing strips for aviation prototypes of the Nazca culture or, beyond, for extraterrestrial beings? Were they made by human hands? What is certain is that the beauty of the Nazca lines can be seen from the top of the surrounding hills, which radically changes the way of understanding them. In fact, the Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe discovered them in the 20th century, specifically in 1927.
