Chan Chan (sun sun)

Today we visited the Chan Chan ruins... from the time period 600-900 AC. These ruins, and "palaces" were amazing. Most of it is in bad shape, but some they have restored to their original glory. Literally the bus dropped us off on the side of the road, and it felt like the middle of nowhere in the desert...then you look across the highway and there are all these half walls. Once you drive inside the ruins, you walk through a maze of corridors, pathways and ramps to walk around this place. It spands over 14 km, although most of the tour takes place in only a small part. We were amazed at how insignifcant we felt, walking around these cerimonial grounds.
