The Trujillo trip is optional and students are required to pay for their hotel room and food costs during the trip (approx. $60). Students will visit the Huacas de Moche archaeological complex, which includes the centers of Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna where Dr. Steve Bourget, the project director, excavated an extensive arena of human sacrifice. We will also tour Chan Chan on our way to a scenic afternoon along the Pacific Beach in the adjacent town of Huanchaco.
