Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru — Like Walking Back In Time

Flat Hal and Flat Stanley ventured away from the port area near Salaverry, Peru, where the ship docked to see some incredible sites dating back to the time of the Moche people. The Moche lived in the region before the Inca. The Moche built ‘huaca del sol y la luna’ the Temple of the Sun and the Moon. These were/are adobe structures… HUGE places, made from mud bricks.

Flat Stanley and Flat Hal have gotten good at taking piggy back rides when the rest of us do a LOT of walking. The temple of the Moon has been partially excavated (uncovered and explored), but the temple of the Sun is still, in many respects, buried by the sands of time.
