Most of these pics are from archeological site south of Trujillo, Huaca del Sol y Luna. It consists of 4 pyramids built one on top of the other. On the outside of each pyramid were terraces painted with friezes on the adobe bricks. the friezes depict some daily life but mostly gods, kings, spiders, snakes, fighting scenes, slaves, etc. The people who made these were the Moche people who dominated the north coast of Peru from about 200 AD to 700 AD.
To get to Huaca del Sol y Luna, it took me 2 hours of riding in combis (small Toyota minibuses used for public transport and fit up to 25 folks), wandering around Trujillo asking for directions to the next aleged combi. cost was about $0.75 and boy was i was crammed in there!
