Rocio rocks

David_M, Jul 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the huacas of El Brujo. Learnt a lot which is always the measure for me. Rocio did a great job, enthusiastic and knowledgable, was great to have her as my guide. Great day!

The treasures of the Lady of Cao

Garrad, Mar 2020

This is a great tour though mostly for the amazing treasures contained in the museum of the Lady of Cao. The temple itself is in a poorer state of preservation than the temple of the moon though it is still worth the trip. Unfortunately some of the ruins were off limits to tourists while they were repairing the roof however we still saw the main areas of the ruins.

Tamara S. E, Sep 2015

Our guide showed no interest or enthusiasm in taking us around the site. His commentaries were rote and banal, and when we tried to take our questions further and deeper, little was coming from him. This tour was a waste of time and money, as was the tour we took with the same guide the previous day. VIATOR should vet its guide more carefully, and based on our Trujillo experiences I will not recommend you to friends and family in the future.
