CHICLAYO AND THE ADVENTURE- ONE DAY

MUSEUMS AND PYRAMIDES

 
Cecila and I decided to make a trip up to northern Peru to the famous Kuelap, unfortunately the awful weather forced us to change our plans and stay in our official “departure city”; Chiclayo.


After 13 hours in a night bus from Lima and the sad decision of no going to our original destination we start doing a quick research about our new “quick break” destination, luckily Chiclayo has a lot to offer.

How we pretty much wasted our first morning in Chiclayo (making decision and finding a hostel) we tried to take advantage of the day going to the closest place, LAMBAYEQUE TOWN located only 12km away from the city. There’s public transportation to go there from ELIAS AGUIRRE SQUARE. You either can take a colectivo (a regular car for 4 people / Cost: PEN 2.00 p.p) or a combi (a minivan for 12 people/ Cost: PEN 1.50 p.p). We decided to take the car and asked to be drop off close to the museums, that stop is right in the main avenue at INKA FARMA drugstore, which is a middle point; to the left for BRUNING MUSEUM or the right to TUMBAS REALES DE SIPAN MUSEUM, which is the most interesting and interactive.
