New archaeological attractions in Lambayeque

A new tourist route will be open shortly in northern Peru that features 2500 BC geoglyphs which are located on the hills of Lambayeque and may be part of the pre-Chavin period. The Mythic Owl stands out among the figures drawn on the ground, it is 65 meters long and 23 meters wide, and it was made of flat stones following a mosaic technique. Nine kilometers from the Mythic Owl, the Oyotun Eagle, 60 meters long and 50 meters wide, made with slab stones, is another geoglyph that according to the experts at the Bruning Museum of Lambayeque, represents divinities that were called on in search of protection. The natural rock figures on the surrounding hillsides add to the mystic of the area.

Some of the archaeological sites that can be visited in the northern coast of Peru include El Brujo, Huaca Rajada, and the citadel of Chan-Chan. New discoveries in the archaeological sites keep adding clues that help unravel the history of the ancient cultures that flourished in this part of the country.
