Outside Huanchaco are loads of Moche and other pre-incan civilization ruins. A popular one is the Chan Chan ruins. They are made completely with adobe. Large walls surround the complex which includes homes, plazas, temples and ritual spots and tombs. Biggest sand castle I ever saw.
Pretty neat for a couple hours of entertainment and walking. Impressive that people pulled off living so well in the desert.
Interesting place, It does look like a sand castle!!
