Huaca Rajada
Date Added: 24th Sep 2018
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
Log Text: The civic center associated with the famous "Lord of Sipan" tomb finds. Visible are the large adobe pyramids, and a burial platform. The tombs found in the burial platform remain open and contain simple reproductions of the tomb finds as well as signage describing the tombs.
The pyramids themselves are dramatically eroded, but careful examination shows the adobe brick structure. A nearby museum describes the Moche culture and multiple noble burials, but the finds from the tomb of the "Lord of Sipan" himself are in the museum of the Royal Tombs innearby Lambayeque City. Please visit here as well you show your support of the local village and the vendors who work near the museum.

Sechin Alto
Date Added: 25th Sep 2018
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 3rd Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Log Text: Sechin Alto is a large and somewhat chaotic site with no signage. Its completely surrounded by mango orchards ("Mangos are money." said our guide.) If you are shown where to climb up on paths and among the sharp edged rock pieces that make up the structure, you can see foundations of rooms, platforms, and an area in the central mound made from piled adobe.
This is a stark and exposed site. Awesome and intimidating.
