Northern Kingdoms Express

The northern coast of Peru was the cradle of two of the most fabulous kingdoms in the region, the Moche and later the Chimu, respectively considered the best potters and goldsmiths in ancient Peru; they have left for us great artworks in different contexts, including the spectacular friezes at Huaca de la Luna and the treasures of the Lord of Sipan.
