Hike One Trail in another Country - PERU

Check it off!!
While in Peru we visited Huacas de Moche - Huaca de la Luna y Huaca del Sol.

Peru is known for Machu Picchu. I have been to Machu Picchu and Cusco before. On this trip we traveled to Northern Peru to Trujillo.  Trujillo is on the coast located near Huanchaco.

This was the capital city of the Moche people in 100 - 800 AD.  It is an adobe pyramid that was abandoned after floods.Temple of the Moon and Temple of the Sun.

Cerro Blanco

There are not a lot of maintained trails in this area to hike so we decided to go to Huaca de la Luna and hike up the hill to the ruins there and the city that was built out of adobe brinks.

Amazing area to see the ruins.
