Review of Trujillo’s Moche and Chimú sites, including Huacas, Huanchaco, and Chan Chan, with practical advice on price, timing, and value.
“I was picked up outside my hostel and taken to each site. The guide I had was very knowledgeable and when she realised that I love history, she was even more enthusiastic to explain more. However, despite booking and paying for the tour in English I had to pay an extra 38Sol for a bilingual guide. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch took ages to bring my food out and when it arrived it wasn’t correct but I had to eat it anyway as there was no time to correct it. I would have preferred to spend more time or the archeological sites rather than going to the tourist…”
