As a Peruvian I suggest that many places to visit (which I've visited): If you start with the Norh of Peru, I recommend: Lambayeque, the cradle of the Moche culture, which is between first and fourth centuries AD C., which makes Lambayeque is one of the most interesting archeological destinations in the country. In 1987 he discovered the famous royal tombs of Sipan. Besides the archaeological site of Sipan, visit the Royal Tombs of Sipan, modern museum containing the most extraordinary gold pieces found in excavations. Túcume is another archeological site of unique beauty. There, you will see more twenty adobe pyramids, all approximately forty meters high, which belong to the Lambayeque culture. Another must see in Lambayeque is Chaparrí Ecological Reserve, Chongoyape district. Try the resort of Pimentel and the traditional town of Sana, with its colonial houses and churches.
