Pomac Forest & Sicán Museum Tour

The Pomac Forest & Sicán Museum Tour offers a unique combination of archaeology, nature, and history in the Lambayeque region of northern Peru.

The experience begins with a visit to the impressive Sicán National Museum, where travelers discover the fascinating history of the Sicán Culture, also known as the Lambayeque culture. Inside the museum, visitors can admire remarkable discoveries including gold funerary masks, ceremonial objects, and artifacts that reveal the power and beliefs of this ancient civilization.

After the museum visit, the tour continues to the extraordinary Pomac Historical Sanctuary, a protected dry forest that preserves dozens of ancient adobe pyramids hidden among carob trees and desert landscapes. This sanctuary was once the ceremonial heart of the Sicán civilization and contains some of the largest pyramids built on the northern coast of Peru.
