Moving from Suyaña to Chiclayo.
I will travel south from Suyaña and move to Chiclayo.
A wide and desolate road continues for a long time.
I have created a video of this section.
South American motorcycle touring: Peru, Suyaña → Chiclayo by moomin

It seems the wind is strong in this area, and the "twisted trees," a famous sight of Patagonia, are already appearing. I didn't expect to see them so early.
The accommodation here is as follows:
Hostal Satélite
Single room: US$6
Shared toilet and bathroom, breakfast included.
I was able to stay at a low price because they had just started using Booking.com.

Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum.
I visited the "Tumbas Reales de Sipán" museum, which is about the Sipan ruins, because it was on the way. I was surprised by the level and amount of exhibits, which were more impressive than I had imagined. It's a wonderful museum, and I wonder why it's not more well-known.
The preservation condition and the excavated artifacts are excellent. Although it doesn't reach the level of the entire Egyptian collection, it has exhibits that are comparable to a single tomb in Egypt in terms of quantity and quality.
Of course, it doesn't reach the level of the Egyptian Museum, nor the Louvre Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, it's amazing that a high-quality museum was built near the excavation site, and the artifacts are housed there.
This is located about 10 minutes by car north of Chiclayo.
Here, for security or policy reasons, you cannot enter without leaving your cell phone and camera.
This is a problem. I had planned to go straight to Lima, but now I'm also interested in the pyramids in the surrounding area.

Museo Arqueológico Nacional Brüning
I stopped by the Museo Arqueológico Nacional Brüning, which is located near the Royal Tombs of Sipán.
It's not very large, but it's impressive, and I was surprised to see such a magnificent museum in the countryside. It's doing its best, despite its small size.

Túcume ruins.
Today, I am going to the Túcume ruins. It is located a few tens of kilometers north of Chiclayo.
↓ There is a mountain-like formation near a nearby village, but it is just a mountain-like formation. I will go beyond that and continue a little further.

Sican Museum (Museo Señor de Sican)
I went to the Museo Señor de Sican by taking a narrow road from the Túcume ruins.
In this area, if you deviate from the main roads, it quickly becomes a dirt road... Sigh. I need to get used to dirt roads.
This museum is quite well-equipped. It's amazing for being in such a rural area.
I was surprised to see the names of Japanese TBS and Japanese professors mentioned several times in the exhibits. They are doing a great job.
