Located at 35 km. South East from Chiclayo (45 min. by car). In 1987 a tomb was discovered there with the intact remains of a Mochica chief, the majestic Lord of Sipan. This discovery allow us to appreciate the funeral ritual of a Mochica ruler who was accompanied by a warrior, a priest, two women, a boy, a dog, a llama and a watchman with both feet amputated. The funerary apparel includes several gold and silver jewels with turquoises.
