THE LORD OF SIPAN
IN THE VALLEY OF THE PYRAMIDS

2 Days / 1 Night
 

 
 In 1987, the archaeologist Dr. Walter Alva was called by the police chief to come in for questioning about some objects that were found. Upon his arrival the officer produced several large metal objects that had been confiscated from grave looters. Dr. Alva was in disbelief at what he saw. His studies of this region and the Moche Culture had never produced this type of art work in metals. He was almost positive that the artifacts were of the high Moche leader or The Lord of Sipan. After an intense and careful excavation of the Pampa Grande site, Dr. Alva uncovered the most significant archaeological discovery in the western hemisphere. Compared by many to that of the Egyptian pharaoh, King Tutankhamen. Since the discovery, a total of four tombs dating back from the time of Christ to 700 AD has been unearthed in Sipans Hauca Rajada, near the coastal city of Chiclayo. Sipans treasure shows the Moches cultural ability to work with different types of metal and stone in the crafting of masks, jewelry and ornamental weapons. These priceless treasures are on exhibit in the Royal Tombs of the Lord of Sipans Museum. Also, located north of Chiclayo, are several ‘‘Moche Pyramids'' in the Valley of the Pyramids. The largest complex discovered is El Tucume and is still under scientific research.

Afterwards continue for tours to the sites of Pampa Grande, Lord of Sipans Tomb & Tucume. These areas are the most important regions that are least to be explored by the western tourist and the importance as well as accessibility is far better than that of ANY other tourist region in Peru. Archaeologically importance wise this region is the richest in history & financially wise to have been discovered intact in the last 100 years. New and unknown sites are being excavated every day / year. This is the cutting edge of the past history from Thor Heyderdahl’s discovery of Tucume to Walter Alvas credits to the Lord of Sipan’s site, and is the best of the best. It is noted that the site of Pampa Grande is the most significant archaeological discovery in the western hemisphere. Return to Chiclayo for your flight to Lima and transfer to your hotel. ( B )
