In 1987, a royal Moche tomb at Sipán, 30km southeast of Chiclayo, was located by researchers. This find proved to be extraordinary as archaeologists recovered hundreds of dazzling and priceless artifacts from the site. Excavation continues.

Partly because of the rare treasures at Sipán, the Chiclayo area has single-handedly cornered the Peruvian market for exceptionally well-designed museums; a point in case is the excellent museum in Lambayeque, 11km north of Chiclayo.

Chiclayo's cathedral was built in the late 19th century, and the nearby Plaza de Armas (Parque Principal) wasn't inaugurated until 1916, which gives an idea of how new the city is by Peruvian standards.

Plaza de Armas
The Plaza de Armas is a great place to amble as it fills nightly with sauntering couples, evangelical preachers and an army of underemployed shoe shiners.
