Tour Description

Once we pick you up from your hotel in the city of Chiclayo, we will embark on this incredible tour starting with a visit to the Paseo de las Musas. This is an ideal spot for family outings, offering a pleasant stroll.

This urban park features numerous squares surrounded by vibrant gardens and flowers, along with sculptures of nine muses from Greek mythology, crafted by the sculptor Miguel Ángel Díaz Dávila.

The Chiclayo tour continues as we proceed to the main park. Since Chiclayo was never a battleground, it does not have a traditional Plaza de Armas. From this point, you'll enjoy panoramic views of commercial centers, the historic cinema, and the striking Cathedral.

The Cathedral of Chiclayo, also known as Santa Maria Cathedral, saw its construction begin in 1869 and conclude in 1939 due to funding issues. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, it showcases a neoclassical style.

The city of Chiclayo was established in 1720 by the Spanish, serving as a rest stop for merchants during the colonial period.

Next, we will visit the Municipal Palace. This Republican-era monument hosts remarkable exhibitions by local photographers within its exquisite halls.

Chiclayo is rich in pre-Inca cultures like the Moche and is the site where the tomb of the Lord of Sipan, or Huaca Rajada, was discovered.

Our excursion concludes at the Mercado Modelo, also referred to as the Witch Market of Chiclayo. Here, you can find a variety of items, including those related to witchcraft, as shamanism is widely practiced in the mountains and jungles of Peru for healing ailments and matters of the heart.

After this unforgettable tour, we will return you to your hotel.
