I will travel south from Chiclayo to Trujillo.
There are many desert areas.

In Peru, on roads with one lane in each direction and a shoulder, oncoming cars will intentionally pull in front of my motorcycle and use their high beams to try to force me out of the driving lane.
This has happened to me dozens of times while I've been in Peru, so it seems to be a common practice. Is it more frequent in the south?
Of course, I will continue to honk my horn until they pass me, for about 10 seconds.

I have created a video of this section.
South American motorcycle touring: Peru, Chiclayo to Trujillo by moomin

The accommodation here is as follows:

Hotel Turistico Maria Elena
Single room: US$6, shared toilet and bathroom, no breakfast.
It's a good feeling for the price. It's sufficient.

I went to the CAO Museum, which is about an hour north of Turhierro by motorcycle.
On the map, it says "Brujo," and I don't quite understand the relationship, but since the largest building is marked as the CAO Museum, I decided to go there.

It's wonderful that the murals remain, although the colors have faded considerably.

I went to see the Brujo ruins (HUACA El Brujo), which is visible to the north of the CAO Museum.
It seems that this place is still under excavation, and there is no need for a ticket, so I was able to observe it from nearby.
I tried going up to the top, but there wasn't much to see.

I visited Huaca Prieta, which is located south of the CAO Museum and Brujo's Wakas. However, this site is also unexcavated, and there doesn't seem to be much to see.

After visiting the CAO Museum and Brujo, we had a meal in a small town and then tried to move along the coast towards Trujillo. However, this was a failure.
I never expected that the route suggested by the Google Maps navigation, which looked like a main road, would actually be a dirt road. I was tricked.
Furthermore, the road started to become sandy, which was dangerous for a motorcycle. I managed to move parallel to the coastal road and avoid the danger, but I will be careful about trusting Google Maps navigation in the future.

It seems that almost all roads in this area are dirt roads, except for the highway.

Next, I went to the Chan Chan ruins. It was the capital of the Chimú civilization.
It's quite a vast site.
Again, it's amazing, but there were very few people there.

I bought a pendant with the patterns of the ruins from an old man who was at the ruins. It cost 5 soles (about 180 yen).

I went to the Chan Chan archaeological site museum (Museo de sitio Chan Chan) because it was included in a set ticket, but I was surprised by how small it was.
That's probably why the set ticket was automatically included when I bought the ticket for the Chan Chan archaeological site.
It's probably too small to be worth visiting on its own.
I took a quick look and finished.

I came to see Huaca La Esmeralda, which was included with the Chan Chan ticket, but it felt like a small, minor place, like an extra bonus.
Well, I guess that's what it is.

I came to see Huaca del Arco Iris (Huaca El Dragon), which was included with the ticket for the Chan Chan ruins.
It's okay, considering it was a bonus.

The sun was starting to set, so I hurried to go see La Huaca del Sol.
It seems that you cannot go inside. I viewed it from the outside.

I quickly visited the Museo de Sitio museum, which is located near the Sol Waka and Luna Waka sites.
The museums in this area close at 4:00 PM, so it was a bit rushed.
If they closed at 5:00 PM, I could have had a more relaxed visit.
The weather in this area becomes colder after 4:00 PM, which might be a good thing.

Since it was closing time, I only viewed the outside of the Huaca de la Luna.

The people on the tour went inside regardless of the closing time, and when someone at the entrance asked, "Do you have tickets?", it seemed like you could buy tickets at the museum and still visit even if it was close to closing time. However, if you've never been there before, you wouldn't know that, and some places start asking visitors to leave 30 minutes before closing time, so I couldn't risk buying tickets. Since I didn't have any tickets, I only viewed the outside and headed back.

It opens at 9 am tomorrow, but I can't wait that long, so I'll pass on this one. There's no way I could see everything, so I'll just have to accept that I missed some things. I'm satisfied that I was able to see the other Huacas.I had planned to quickly pass through this area, but in reality, there are many ruins. I still haven't arrived in Lima.
