Chiclayo

Chiclayo Central Park Plaza

On May 8, 2025 Chiclayo was thrust into the global spotlight when Pope Leo XIV thanked his diocese in Chiclayo for always standing by him. Local tour agencies like Sipán Tours have begun taking tourists to see the churches where the Pope worked when he was Bishop Robert Prevost.

Chiclayo has been known since 1987 as the home of the Lord of Sipán, the most extravagant and intact tomb found in South America. The Lord of Sipán now rests in the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum which you can visit in the town of Lambayeque, just 15 min north of Chiclayo. While you’re there, also go to the Brüning Museum for the early 1900s photography exhibit.
