Additional Information

This tour has diverse experiences: the best museum in the north of the country, the oldest pyramid in this part of the world, a corner of the coast of exceptional beauty and the most diverse artisan market are mixed in a harmonious journey.
We start earlier than the competition, at nine in the morning and make a calmer visit; Because we do not have other groups leaving at the same time, it is very likely that we will not find visitor traffic in the museums, which makes a safer excursion in terms of biosecurity.
Something important about this trip is the gastronomic experience, it is possible to have quality seafood lunch near the sea.
Due to government measures, the Royal Tombs of Sipán museum opens from Monday to Friday

Location
Galeria New Center

Due to the traffic in the city, it is advisable to meet at our office, in the pedestrian street of the city center, if you are in a hotel en route (northbound) we can pick you up.

Wonderful - Excellent experience with this young, promising tourist agency - kind, helpful guides with large specter of knowledge and high english language levels. Also the tours are well planned, with a good balance of archeological sites and nature. An extra plus is the birdwatching and photography skills of the guides, which makes experiencing peruvian nature even more enjoyable

Amazing experience! - I cannot say enough wonderful things about Runa Turismo! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and well read about the places we visited and the history. We enjoyed our tour so much we scheduled another for the next day. Seeing the Lord of Sipan museum, Ventarron, Tucume, Eten, and other amazing places made our trip so wonderful. Runa was accommodating of our travel with an infant and our guide was patient whenever we needed to attend to the baby’s needs. He showed us many parts of archaeological sites that might otherwise be overlooked and even took some amazing photos of the birds and wildlife in the carob forest outside of Huaca de las Balsas. We learned so much and had an amazing adventure. If you’re considering a tour, you should absolutely go with Runa, I can’t imagine that you’ll get a better experience elsewhere.

Exceptional experience - This tour far exceeded my expectations! Julio did an exceptional job catering for both the Spanish and English speakers and the museum was presented step by step as an intruging story. He wan tour of his way to involve, share and ensure everyone had a good time. If all tour guides were half as good as him, more tours would be exceptional like this was. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in ancient culture, rituals, artefacts and buildings.

A look into the Past - The tour given by Julio, was very knowledgeable and answered several questions I had along the way. The tour lasted about 7hrs, with 3 different stops. I recommend this tour for people who are interested in ancient Peruvian pyramids and want to see artifacts at the museum. The only negative thing was the tour vans level of AC. It didn’t get cool enough with the heat.
