It was a nice feeling when I crossed the border to Peru. After almost 5 months, 8 countries and 25.000 km I'm back to the starting country and getting close to the end of this trip. I was happy not only because of tons of good things learned and experienced, but also because the lack of bad experiences. Even the most optimist must agree there is always a chance that something happens, gets lost or similar, but I had nothing to regret and this made the nice feeling really complete. The border crossing was again a time consuming experience, especially because it was at 3am that we crossed Aguas Verdes in Tumbes, Peru.
The scenery is again very different. We are now back in the dry, desertic region along the Pacific coast.
My days target is a small town named Lambayeque, about 20km north of the Peruvian city of Chiclayo.The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum is a museum in Lambayeque, Peru. It contains most of the important artifacts found at Huaca Rajada by archeologist Walter Alva in 1987, including the Lord of Sipán and his entourage.
The Lord of Sipán (El Señor de Sipán) is the name given to the first of several Moche mummies found at Huaca Rajada, Sipán, Peru by archaeologist Walter Alva. The site was discovered in 1987. Some archaeologists consider this find to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in South America in the last 30 years, as the main tomb was found intact and untouched by thieves. By 2007, fourteen tombs had been located and identified at Huaca Rajada.
