Chan Chan Site Museum

The ruins of Chan Chan are definitely worth a visit! Located between Trujillo and Huanchaco it is a quick trip here. Starting with the museum where there are original pieces of pottery and other cultural pieces, then you can either walk or take a ride for around s/5 to the ruins of Chan Chan. I personally would recommend getting a tour guide as there is alot to learn from these 2000 year old ruins. However, it's also nice having a wander round as these ruins are so spectacular.

Wonderful place filled with artefacts and remakes. Telling the story of the orginial peoples they belonged to. Its worth a visit as the pottery has so much detail because that is how they depicted their history and stories.

Very impressive, interesting. The ruins are teeming with history and a lot of work has gone into its preservation. A must visit if you travel to Trujillo.

It's a nice addition to the actual site. Visitation will take about 15-30 minutes.
Museum about 25 minutes walking distance from the archeological site.

Chan Chan museum is a very interesting place full of history, all the things inside are really protected but in spite of that, you can take photos and also there are special digital platforms to take photos of you as a memory and then share them onto your mobile. The attention there is excellent, everybody is so gentle and polite and make the visit pretty comfortable and unique. Highly recommended 😁

Very cool place to visit. The size of the site is very impressive and some of the art on the walls is cool

Small and rich in artifacts! Will recommend seeing it before the actual chan chan ruins. And take the bicycles from the museum to the ruins.

Located inside Chan Chan, on the left side of the road to Huanchaco. It exhibits diverse original objects found in Chan Chan among them: wooden idols, ceramic, metal objects, building supplies (sun dried mud bricks or adobes, ropes, beams).

In others halls the prehispanic cultural development of the Department of La Libertad is described, from the first stone artifacts to the ceramic of the great civilizations Moche and Chimu.

There are also display cases dedicated to agriculture, with the instruments, irrigation techniques and the produce cultivated in the Moche valley.

There is variety of scale models that allow you to get a better idea about the form and use of the citadels and others areas of the city. Finally, there is a multimedia room where every half hour tourists can see the Chan Chan history recreated with slides, lights and sound effects which allow you to clearly understand the development of the city.

Great archeological site!

Magnificent historical site. If you already made it to Trujillo then visiting Chan Chan is a must.
