The Chan Chan archeological site is located at 4km west of the city in the Moche river valley, following the paved highway to Huanchaco. It was the capital of the Chimu culture, built between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries AD by the rules of the Tacaynamo dynasty. Chan Chan, which spans an area of 20 square km, is the largest mud-brick citadel dating back to the pre-Hispanic era. To build it, the Chimu architects used clay, mud, pebbles, wood, reeds, straw and cane, materials that enable the citadel to blend in with the sandy coasts.
The Fortress of Kuelap is located in the cloud forest of the region of Amazonas; Kuelap is a proof of the engineering skills of the Chachapoyas, a tribe who inhabited the area AD 1000 around.
