Chan Chan, Trujillo - Peru






23.12.12 

Built around AD 1300 this site once formed the largest pre-Colombian city in the Americas. At the height of the Chimu empire, Chan Chan contained over 10,000 structures. The Incas conquered the Chimu around 1460. 
The muddy walls cover approximately 20km, it´s incredible how well still intact they are.
