Trujillo: Chan Chan Palaces & Huanchaco beach

Location: Trujillo, Peru

went to visit chan chan. and took a tour of one of 10 moche palaces found on this site. this one is the central one in the site, though not the biggest.

there is a huge restoration job going on which will take a very very long time and a lot of money.
