Breakfast at your hotel. Early, we will begin our visit to the Sican National Museum, a modern infrastructure that holds the result of 23 years of research led by the archaeologist Izumi Shimada. There, visitors can go back in time and appreciate details of the daily life of the inhabitants of Sican or Lambayeque culture, their precious metals, the process of making ceramics, as well as being able to observe the recreation of the tombs found with objects from gold. The term Sicán means Temple of the Moon, and this culture is considered as the descendants of the great God Naylamp, who arrived by sea, in the middle of a large fleet of rafts and accompanied by a luxurious court of officials, versed in different arts and crafts. Privileged heir to the great Mochica culture received a series of cultural influences, including that of the Chimu culture, which is also heir to the Mochica culture. There comes a time when both cultures develop in parallel until the Chimu absorbs the Sican culture and later both were absorbed by the Incas
