Top Attractions in Chiclayo
💡 Watch your pockets—crowds are tight. Head to the back for the curandero (healer) stalls where you'll see llama foetuses and dried frogs used in rituals.
💡 Best in the early evening when the fountains are lit. Nearby street vendors sell picarones (sweet potato doughnuts) for 2 soles.
💡 Go at sunset when the cathedral lights up. Avoid the benches near the curry vendors—they attract pigeons.
💡 Go early—before 10am—to dodge bus tour crowds. The exhibition is one-way, so take your time on each floor.
💡 Hire a local guide at the entrance—they charge around 10-15 soles and explain the mud-brick pyramids in detail. Combine with the museum for context.
