It's been a while since I've seen cool ruins but Chan Chan did not disappoint. I went with my buddy Jakob to take a self guided tour. The ruins are from the Chimu culture and the area around the Tschudi compound that we toured at one time housed about 60,000 people. The city of Chan Chan was built around 1300 and lasted until the Chimu were conquered by the Incas in 1460. Photos tell the story better so check those out.
