Chiclayo


We decide on going up north to Chiclayo to visit some interesting ruins and a rescue center with still spectacle bears! It is a four hour bus ride from Trujillo, it seems a very easy trip. Chiclayo is small but chaotic, we have a very welcoming hotel owner who take care of us like kids! Next day we take a trip to the Reserva Ecologica Chappari located in a dry forest and we have a walk with a very knowledgeable guide. We learn about nature and animals and the spectacle bears are the attraction of the trip. It is a two hour ride to get back to Chiclayo but nature all around is interesting and we don't mind the bumpy road. Next day we visit the site of the tombs of the Lord of Sipran, the findings of the tombs are in the incredible museum with all the treasures found on the site. Even the kids are super interested into this museum!
