Chan-Chan was once the biggest adobe city in the world. It once housed 60,000 habitants of the Chimu civilization (pre-Inca). Of course, most of it is gone now. Rains and floods have washed most of it away (hard to believe considering this area is desert) and when the Spaniards came, they robbed the tombs. There are a few similar historical sites to be visited in the area, we visited the main one: Chan-Chan.
