About
Rychlá fakta: Walking along sun-warmed adobe terraces, you can feel the grain of mud bricks underfoot and imagine rituals echoing across stepped plazas. Excavations uncovered hundreds of tombs and offerings, from seashell necklaces to llama remains, revealing a coastal people who engineered canals to stretch scarce water.
Hlavní zajímavosti: By night the 25-meter-high adobe pyramid glows under amber lamps, and you can smell dry clay while guides point out offerings like Spondylus shells and tiny jaguar-shaped beads discovered inside burial chambers. An on-site restaurant and ongoing excavations create the quirky scene of diners sipping ceviche within arm's reach of archaeologists brushing soil, and local staff will happily show you a faded ritual symbol carved into the outer bricks.
Insider tips
- Wear sun protection and comfortable closed shoes, the site is mostly exposed and uneven.
- Arrive at opening to avoid guide groups and get unobstructed photos from the main platform.
- Begin with the small museum for historical context, then walk the plazas to connect exhibits with the ruins.
- If on a tight budget, skip the rooftop restaurant reservation and focus on the daytime site tour for better value.
