Huaca Rajada
The Lord of Sipan
This is a truly remarkable archeological site due to the discovery of the Lord of Sipán, a warrior and ruler from the Moche culture. He was buried around 250 CE.
When you visit the site, what you see is a replica. The original has been taken to the Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipán, a modern museum about 15 minutes north of Chiclayo.
Practicalities
