The coast behind El Brujo
Spent the day touring El Brujo and Chan Chan but also got the chance to visit a little local fishing village, drive though the sugar cane fields, see a sugar cane processing factory and spending time with a nice local guide. He speaks no English so that is why I think we ended up at the little local spots. The workers in the field work incredibly hard and have little towns right in the area of the fields. There are also massive chicken farms in this area with over 4 million chickens housed. Chan Chan was conquered by the Incas who were eventually defeated by the Spanish. El Brujo was a time period previous to Chan Chan. Amazing museum there but no pictures allowed due to the delicate nature of the remains.
