NORTH PERU - 3 DAYS

A trip to the ancient great powers of the North

The extraordinary North of Peru is rich in arqueology, history and picturesque landscapes. Between the Pacific with his coastal deserts and the rainforests in the Amazon Basin nestle the fertile valleys, the high mountains and the cloud forests. There, many of the ancient great powers had rosen and fallen, a long time before the Incas. The North, thanks to its cultural treasures, is considerated the "New Egypt".

The best known cultures – Moche, Lambayeque, Chimu and Chachapoyas – achieved an advanced stage of development, exspecially in agriculture, arquitecture, metalworking and pottery. The achievments in precious metals processing, whose products we can admire in today's museums, testify to their goldsmithes' level of knowledge and praise the precision of those masters. The extensive and mysterious fortresses, temples and tombs adorn the surroundings of the modern cities like Trujillo and Chiclayo in North Peru.
