The North coast of Peru features spectacular contrast between fertile valleys and stark deserts, all wedged in a thin strip between the cold waters of the world's richest fishing grounds and the highest tropical mountain.

This region boasts a rich archeological legacy of Pre-Inca civilizations that occupied these valleys from the First to the Fourteenth century AD. The most prominent of these were the Moche, Lambayeque and Chimu, who demonstrated great sophistication in ceramics, agriculture, and metallurgy.


The ruins of these civilizations grace the outskirts of the two principal cities of the North Coast, Chiclayo and Trujillo.

Close to Trujillo there is a ceremonial center built by the Moches where archeologists have found remains that help us to know more about this amazing pre Inca culture. The center’s walls are beautifully decorated with iconographic designs.
The current National geographic Magazine (July) explores this area with and article about El Brujo:
