Huacas of the Sun and the Moon
Among the fascinating ruins of the department of La Libertad, in the city of Trujillo, lies one of the most impressive archaeological remains in the entire region: the Huacas del Sol and la Luna. These structures, a legacy of the Moche culture, were two centers of great importance that today have their doors open to showcase the grandeur of this culture. Prepare your visit to this archaeological complex with the information we share here and don’t miss it, because the Huacas del Sol and la Luna will leave you speechless.
Where is?
The Huacas del Sol and la Luna are located just 6 kilometers southeast of Trujillo and are part of the so-called Moche Route.
You can easily reach this site from the city center by taking a taxi or bus from the Grau Oval. If you’re heading to Huacas del Sol and la Luna on your own, we recommend stopping for lunch at the restaurants along the road just before reaching the complex.
