Art market in Cuenca... very fun and much more across the river and a few blocks down.
Flower market in Cuenca. My god, the orchids and lilies you can buy for cheep!
This actually isn´t from the Lord of Sipan museum since you weren´t allowed to take pictures there, but it´s from a similar excavation and shows one example of the many many amazing metallurgy pieces we saw. This culture was from 100-700AD I think.
This is the excavation we got to go into at the actual Lord of Sipan site. There are 3 buildings here which are very well done with adobe but covered with sand and somewhat erroded on the outside. The one behind and under this picture is the 1st pyramid which is thought to be regarding religious things.
This is the entire site. The left high peak is the first pyramid, the right is the home of the king so think palace, and the small mound infront is the burial place for important people which has been the most excavated. Very cool.
