Chan Chan

Go in the morning and arrive by 9am if taking a bus/collectivo to have the site to yourself. You can take the H bus from Ovalo Grau or take the B bus that go along Avenue España. All of the red buses that say "Huanchaco" will work and if you say "Chan Chan", they'll drop you off before a quick 10 minute walk to the site. The museum is free, but skip it. The archeological museum in Trujillo has better pieces and better explanations in English and Spanish for only five soles. Guides are 60 soles at the site, we declined.

Awe inspiring place for its huge scale more than anything. The mud carvings are attractive and lots of conservation and repair work is ongoing. The museum is a little small and dated but the city makes up for it.

Unbelievable place to visit 🙏 the site is immense. Just so worth going. There is so much beauty and detail here 😍 take a guide to delete deeper into the history

Nice archeological site, arrive early so the sun and heat doesn't ruin your experience. I like the place , but those roofs take away the magic (I know they are needed for the protection of the site) . Parking could be a hassle if you arrive late.

I came here with my two pals and we thought it was ok. Upon arrival we found out it was 10SOL each for entry to the Chan Chan site and the museum. We decided not to get a tour guide as we though the 60SOL fee was excessive. We walked around the site and found it interesting but felt it was set up to need a tour guide as there was little to no information provided in either English or Spanish. We wanted to know how much of it had been reconstructed and a few other simple details. The toilet facilities were pretty good although the porta loo was very hot and I came out sweating a lot. This places is also under construction so I would imagine that one day there will be a lot more to explore.

Unusual construction method for Latin countries. Where other early cities are of stone, this one is made of clay. Very interesting. The size of this site can't be appreciated until you stand in its midst. Wonderful wall art. The rubber walkways are a welcome upgrade. Not having to watch every step, improves the experience.

Beautiful ruins very unique en different from the others in peru. Most of it is not in original state but its still very impressive to see the size and hear the stories about the history. Definitely visit with a guide for 60 soles to understand better.

An amazing place, definitely worth a visit. It would be great to have more informational stands. There are a couple of dogs living in the parking lot, and they look very skinny. If you're planning to visit Chan Chan, bring some food for them, even a little. I'm not sure how they survive there 😭😭
