Chiclayo is the capital of the province of Chiclayo and the department of Lambayeque. It is the fifth most populous city in Peru and is located on the northern coast of the country. It was founded in 1560 under the name "Villa de la Santísima Trinidad de Chiclayo," but it is also known as "Santa María de los Valles de Chiclayo," referencing the devotion to Christian religious figures.

The city is in a privileged location, close to an important archaeological site that holds remains of the Huari Empire. This site is a living testimony to the passage of ancient civilizations through the region and offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the area's rich history and culture.

In the Historic Center, you will find the Plaza de Armas of Chiclayo, also called the Main Park, a gathering place for both locals and tourists. The majestic Chiclayo Cathedral, an imposing neoclassical-style building located next to the square, represents the city's religious importance since colonial times.

Other important monuments in the city include the José Balta Monument, a sculpture honoring the former Peruvian president who governed from 1868 to 1872 and played a key role in the country's modernization. Additionally, outside the main square, you can visit the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, a space dedicated to showcasing the archaeological treasures found in the Sipán tombs, including valuable artifacts from the Moche culture.

For those visiting Chiclayo, other attractions include the Chiclayo Model Market, a must-stop for tourists wanting to experience the city's everyday life, and the House of Emancipation, a historic site that witnessed key moments in Peru’s independence and now hosts cultural activities and historical events.
