Dock and leave same day. Two museums and an archaeological site. Visited the UNESCO World Site Chan Chan. This huge site was built by the Chimu Kingdom and predated the Incas who overtook them. The Chimu were there from the 9th to 15th century. It was very large and well preserved. Built of adobe, with walls that reached over 100 feet in places. Was decorated with raised adobe designs of waves, birds, fish nets, and fish. The museums had objects found in the site. Many ceramic faces that were realistic were my favorite.
