CHICLAYO TRAVEL

 

Chiclayo Travel

 

Chiclayo Travel: Chiclayo is a city on the northern coastal plain in Peru. It is 95 feet above sea level. The city population is approximately 634,600 while the metropolitan area is approximately 910,255. Chiclayo was founded in 1560 as a rural Indian village by a Spanish priest. Until the 19th century, Chiclayo remained a small town in comparison to the nearby city of Lambayeque. However, the city of Chiclayo has since grown to become a major modern metropolis. It is Peru's fourth largest city.



Chiclayo is well known for its archaeological sites, such as Túcume, Batán Grande and Huaca Rajada. In 1987, in Huaca Rajada (more often referred to as Sipán), a Moche mausoleum was found. The most significant discovery was the tomb of the El Seńor de Sipán, who archaeologists have concluded was a royal ruler from over 1600 years ago.
