meet a still living culture: Mochica's

heritage. First we will visit the pottery and

and ceramic trumpet. ,

Museum. The Moon temple has a number

of temples built on top of each other for

many years, also it has 12 thousand

square meters of polychrome murals. Its

rich iconography and aesthetics are of

outstanding universal value which reflects

a pattern that was built in about seven

centuries. In the upper part of adobe

bricks walls, you can see the remains of

many walls, decorated with figures of

multicolored religious symbols; the most

important is Ai-apaec or "God of the

Mountains". Also it represents an

exceptional testimony of the Moche

cultural tradition as it materializes

political power through religious ideas.

Moche´s life, the city and their

environment. Also, you can witness the

cult of power and the god of the mountains

Last part of the day we will visit in Chan

Chan archaeological complex, the Nik-An

Palace. Chan Chan has been recognized

as World Heritage by UNESCO. It was the

capital of the Chimu Empire that flourished

in the region after the fall of the Moche

empire and covers an area

of approximately 20 square kilometers.

The central area is formed by a set of 10

walled enclosures (called "citadels") and

pyramids. The Citadel Nik-An is the largest

illustration of the importance of water,

particularly the sea, that Chimu culture

worshipped. The high reliefs on the walls

represents fishes, directed north and

south that can be interpreted as the two

streams that make the Peruvian coast, the

Humboldt (a cold current) coming from the

south and the Child (a hot current), coming

from the north as well as waves, rhombus

(mixture of sea lion and otter).
