The northern region of the country is perhaps the best-kept secret of Peru and VIPAC Peru is inviting vacationers to discover it.

A mud citadel, a priestess with her tattooed body, the richness of an ancient Moche ruler, the place where the Inca power came to an end, and one of the highest waterfalls of the world are only some of the jewels that one can find with the special programs that Viajes del Pacífico has designed for learning about this magic region.

Their “Treasures of the North” is a good first approach to the area. With this program, guests are able to visit the best of Trujillo and Chiclayo, from the citadel of Chan Chan to the wealth of the Lord of Sipan.

For archeology lovers, there’s “Lost Empires,” through which visitors are able to tour the main archeological remains left by the ancient civilizations of the North—like the enigmatic Chachapoyas who had a special cult for the dead, traces of which can be found in its Karajia tombs as well as in the impressive Kuelap fortress.

Finally, for a complete experience, travelers must ask for the “Peruvian Northeast” program.

This very comprehensive program, in addition to taking in the cities of Trujillo, Chiclayo and Chach-apoyas, shows the city where the end of the Inca Empire started—Cajamarca, a city of colonial remains and beautiful countryside.

These programs can be rounded up with some additional days in the sunny beaches of Mancora or Punta Sal.

These marvels of Peru are accompanied by kind people, typical food, impressive landscapes and an almost intact living culture.
