El Brujo

On the drive from Trujillo to Chiclayo, we stopped at El Brujo—an ancient site in the Chicama Valley located 37 miles northwest of Trujillo. Similar to Huaca de la Luna, there were seven temples (each built on top of the previous). Despite looting, archeologists discovered the tomb of the Lady of Cao in the 2005. This discovery challenges the belief that the Moche society was patriarchal. It is believe that she governed at the same time as the Lord of Sipan and that many healers, witches and shamans used to visit.
