Lambayeque is a picturesque region that has much to offer: you can get to know the culture of this town not only for its historical monuments such as the Lord of Sipan, its valleys and pyramids, but also for its exquisite cuisine and the nightlife of its people. Take a horse ride through the Historical Sanctuary of Pómac Forests, perform nautical activities in the artificial lagoon of Tinajones Reservoir and let its beaches disconnect you from the city.

Chiclayo

The city of Chiclayo is known as the “City of Friendship”, because of the warmth of its people. This city is located in the province of the same name, in the Lambayeque region; this city is capital, both of the province, and of the department in which it is located.

Among the different tourist attractions that are within the beautiful city of Chiclayo, there are places like the Paseo de las Muses.

The funeral trousseau includes numerous jewels of gold and silver decorated with turquoises.
