Chan Chan a Huanchaco

---

Vetsina pamatek, ktere v Peru navstevujeme se tyka puvodnich kultur a ani dnesni den nebyl vyjimkou. Prvni stanici byla Huaca Arco Iris /duhova pyramida - chram/ ktera je jako jedna z mala zrekonstruovana temer do puvodniho stavu. Konecne vidite jak to vypadalo a nejen ruiny. Po teto kratke zastavce jsme dorazili do Chan Chanu - hlavni mesto Chimu kultury, sveho casu nejvetsi mesto jizni Am. Vetsina budov je pouze ruinami /jde opet o stavbu z blatovych cihel/, pouze mala cast je zrekostruovana, ale konce mesta nedohlednete. I ta trocha co jsme videli je impozantni a rozsah celeho komplexu musel byt omracujici. V mistnim muzeu jsme zase byli stredem zajmu a pozadani o spolecnou fotku-uz to asi nebudeme zminovat, jako rockove hvezdy...Na zaver dne jsme si nechali malou rybarskou vesnicku Huanchaco pri Tichem oceanu - pro nas prvni stretnuti s morem tady. A protoze u more, museli jsme vyzkouset mistni specialitu, ktere jsme se dlouho vyhybali-ceviche-marinovane syrove ryby ci dary more. Pripominalo nam to trochu zavinace. Bylo to dobre, ale za zdravotni risk to nestoji. Pak jsme jen tak sedeli u more a prochazeli se po plazi, pozorovali rybare na jejich typickych lodkach z rakosu a obdivovali asi ze 2 metru pelikana. Proste parada...


Most of the places we go to in Peru is about original cultures and today was no exception. First stop was no exception-Huace Arco Iris/rainbow pyramid-temple/ that as one of a few is nearly completely reconstructed. Finally u c how it looked like and not only the ruins. After this quick stop we arrived to Chan Chan-capital of Chimu culture, the greatest city of its time in South America. Most of the buildings are just ruins /again they used adobe bricks/, only a small part is reconstructed, but even though u cant see the end of this city. What we saw is impressive and the scale of the whole complex just astonishing. In a local museum we had been asked to be part in the photo - again - we wont mention it anymore, like rock stars...At the end of the day we planned a visit a little fishermen village by the Pacific - for us the first encounter with the ocean. And because by the sea, we had to try ceviche - marinated raw fish or sea food. This meal was one to try, but we had been told, that the best one is always by the sea. It was tasty, but doesnt worth the healthy risk. Then we just sat by the ocean, walked on the beach, observed local fihermen on their typical reed boats and admired a pelican from 2 metres. Just great...
