About this activity

Discover the sophisticated Sicán civilization (750–1300 AD) across two complementary sites north of Chiclayo: the pyramid-studded Pómac Forest Historical Sanctuary, where elite tombs were unearthed, and the Sicán National Museum's exceptional artifact collection. This 4-hour guided experience offers rare insight into a pre-Incan culture few travellers encounter.

Immerse yourself in Peru’s ancient Sicán civilization, which inhabited the region from 750 to 1300 AD. This 4-hour tour takes you to two Sicán attractions just north of Chiclayo. Visit Pómac Forest Historical Sanctuary, where the tomb of an elite Sicán was discovered on the former Batan Grande sugar plantation. Explore the ancient pyramids with a knowledgeable guide, and then see the wide array of fascinating artifacts found in the tomb at the Sicán National Museum. You have the option to choose a private tour for a more personalized experience.
