Last night, as a reward for our hard days work we headed down to Huanchaco to meet up with some of Greg's friend's in the PeaceCorp, which inevitably resulted in a late start. After which we took the opurtunity of some free time to head over to Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America. Despite being way over 1000 years old, parts of the ruins are incredibly well preserved. It's just another example of the huge number of civilizations that have thrived throughout the ages in Peru, Chan Chan especially, being a prime example of the lengths people can go to to live in some very difficult environments.
After our journey into the past, we headed a few miles down the road back to Huanchaco, where, after some lunch we hit the beach where Nino and Dan tried to catch some waves on traditional reed fishing boats.
