This huge building contains the treasures of the Sipan Tombs. He was a Mochica ruler, and inside one can see all the pottery, gold objects, and weapons founded in the Tombs of Sican. It´s a amazing visit, there are guides to show the three floors of the museum. Highly recommended. No pictures inside the museum.

Also known as Casa Montjoy, it was built in the XVI century, and has the largest colonial balcony in Peru (67 mts long) and was declared a national monument in 1963. Now it contains some handicraft shops and art galleries.

Sadly, the ruins of Sipan were closed off due to a workers strike. However, the impressive Bruning Archeological Museum at Lambayeque (town 30 minutes from town) turned out to be even better. This museum contains the entire record of the Tomb of the Lord of Sipan as found in the site itself. As I marveled at the wealth of information available in this museum, I recalled a National Geographic special about Sipan that I had seen a few years ago.

This beautiful church was built in 1700, and has some interesting frescoes inside.

Lambayeque has a nice plaza, sorrounded by the cathedral to wander after the intense visit of the Sipan Museum.

This good museum once contained the Sipan treasures, but is also a very interesting visit, a great collection of archaelogical objects of the Chimu, Moche, Chavin and Vicus cultures.

What I remember best from Lambayeque is the freshly made King-Kong. So nice to bring home as a memory from Peru. There are also a lot of other sweets made from milk.
