Huaca el Dragon: Mud Reliefs and Ancient Moche Architecture

★ 4.7 (44)

Skip the crowded museums and spend 45 minutes walking through these massive, well-preserved mud walls. The intricate dragon carvings still pop after all these centuries. Go during the morning to dodge the desert sun, and definitely book the Full Archaeological tour to actually understand the Moche symbolism behind the reliefs. It is smaller than Chan Chan, which makes it feel less like a slog. Bring water, sunglasses, and enough battery for the long-exposure shots.

Address: Pedro Murillo, La Esperanza, Trujillo, 13012
