Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Chiclayo.
CircuitsHotelsExcursions
Chiclayo is the capital of the Lambayeque region, on the northern coast of Peru, and the starting point for discovering the legacy of the Moche, Sicán and Lambayeque cultures. Around it are the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, the pyramids of Túcume and the Sicán National Museum, as well as the Huaca Rajada complex, where the tomb of the Lord of Sipán was found.
In a programme it works as an archaeological and gastronomic extension from Lima or Trujillo, a complement for those who already know the classic Peru circuit.
Chiclayo can be visited all year round thanks to its warm, very dry coastal climate. From April to November temperatures are milder and more comfortable for touring open-air archaeological sites; from December to March it is hotter and exceptional rains linked to the El Niño phenomenon may occur. The middle hours of the day should be avoided when visiting the huacas.
MICE & groups
Chiclayo is suitable for small and medium-sized groups that value cultural content, and not for large congresses: the city offers mid-range and upper-category hotels and medium-scale meeting rooms, and its appeal lies in the archaeological heritage and the gastronomy. It works better as a cultural extension within a broader agenda.
Incentives
Credible incentive experiences include a guided visit to the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, a tour of the pyramids of Túcume at sunset, a tasting or cooking class of northern cuisine, with dishes such as arroz con pato or cabrito, and a visit to craft workshops and local markets. They offer cultural and gastronomic content for small groups.
Access & logistics
Access is via Chiclayo airport (CIX), with flights from Lima of approximately an hour and a half, or by road from Trujillo and the northern coast along the Pan-American Highway. The archaeological sites and museums in the surrounding area are reached by road on short transfers from the city. Air operations should be checked by season.
Trade notes
Plan 2 nights, with one day for Sipán and Lambayeque and another for Túcume and Ferreñafe. It is linked with Lima, Trujillo and the northern coast on a route of pre-Inca cultures. Suits clients with archaeological and gastronomic interests, above all European and North American travellers who already know the Cusco and Machu Picchu circuit.

Booking & policies
Are the prices shown net or retail?
Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see a reference “from” price, indicative and subject to availability; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.
What happens after I book?
When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations are governed by the conditions stated in each quotation. The standard conditions are: more than 30 days before arrival, the deposit is non-refundable; 30 to 15 days before arrival, 50% of the total price is charged; less than 15 days before arrival or a no-show, 100%. They may vary on peak dates and depend on the policy of each hotel and service. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. Conditions stated in the quotation and accepted by the agency at booking take precedence over the general schedule in Clause 7.1 of the Terms.
Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?
Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
