Huacas de Moche

Start with Huaca de la Luna and the museum at Huacas de Moche. The shared name does not mean both huacas can be entered.

What to expect

Huacas del Sol y de la Luna sounds like two equivalent stops. Do not plan on that assumption. Visitor information focuses on Huaca de la Luna and Museo Santiago Uceda Castillo. Start with the museum address and take its explanation into the monument.

How it fits into a journey

Make a focused outing from Trujillo to the Moche countryside. Put Chan Chan in another part of the day if you want to compare both.

Practical answers

Where should I start?

Use Museo Santiago Uceda Castillo as the arrival point. Official visitor information directs ticket purchases to the museum.

Can I visit both huacas?

Do not assume access to both. The published visitor offer concerns Huaca de la Luna and the museum; ask which circuit is available.
