Visit the complex of Huaja Rajada which is comprised of two huge pyramids made of adobe mud. In front of the pyramids is a platform which is to have contained the royal mausoleum. These intact remains of an important Mochica ruler known as the Lord of Sipan were discovered here in 1987. The tour continues to the Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum, a museum inaugurated in November 2002. Rated as one of the most outstanding archaeological museums in South America, the building is modeled after an ancient pyramid of the region. Here you can find a reconstruction of the tomb of Sipan, dubbed the "Tutankhamen of the Americas" because of the golden splendor of his tomb - hundreds of pieces of pottery and exquisite gold jewelry.
