The new initiative - promoted by the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of La Libertad and backed by two important partners: National Geographic and Sustainable Preservation Initiative (SPI) - invites visitors to explore the enigmatic Chan Chan by Bicycle. Considered the largest adobe city in America, this wonder of the Chimú culture, located in Trujillo, offers visitors a route of 1,674.90 linear meters in the archaeological zone and part of the Chan Chan Site Museum. The route includes the Toledo huaca and the Nik An palace, a set of walls that tourists can freely access.
