Lambayeque

A region in northern Peru, Lambayeque offers visitors a number of beaches, Pómac Forests, and the Chaparrí reserve. As such, expect to enjoy hearty days by the coast, lovely hikes through dense woodlands, and a look at Chaparrí’s Andean bear and condor. Don’t forget to visit the region’s capital, Lambayeque, a gateway to the Huaca Rajada archeological sites. You’ll also find the tomb of the Lord of Sipán, a ruler from the times when the Moche ruled. You can learn more than the ancient Moche culture by visiting the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum. A visit to Lambayeque offers a healthy mix of fun outdoor activities and history lessons here and there, so be sure to check out the region to get a taste of Peru.
