- El Brujo Archaeological Complex - Cao Museum - Situated in the Chicama Valley, north of Trujillo, the El Brujo Archaeological Complex is a significant archaeological site on Peru’s northern coast. It showcases a continuous cultural history spanning over 10,000 years, featuring the Huaca Prieta, Cupisnique, Salinar, Mochica, Lambayeque, Chimú cultures, and even the colonial era. The site gained international fame with the 2006 discovery of the Lady of Cao, a Mochica ruler whose mummified remains, adorned with intricate tattoos of spiders and snakes, challenged previous beliefs by proving that women held prominent political and religious roles in ancient Peruvian societies. The complex is notable for its grand adobe pyramids, adorned with original polychrome reliefs of significant artistic and historical importance.
- Magdalena de Cao - Magdalena de Cao is a charming colonial village that serves as the entrance to the ruins and is distinguished by its rich cultural identity, paying homage to the Lady of Cao through themed murals and local crafts. It also preserves unique traditions like the renowned “Chicha de Año,” a corn beer fermented underground for a year, and offers genuine cuisine that blends the flavors of northern Peru with Mochica roots and colonial influences.
