Lambayeque, Archaeological city in northern coastal region, Peru.

The northern city of Lambayeque extends across fertile plains near sugar cane plantations, connecting coastal areas with productive agricultural territories.

The settlement originated from the arrival of Naymlap, who established the foundations of northwestern civilization preceding the Moche and Chimu societies.

The Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum displays archaeological findings from pre-Inca civilizations, including golden artifacts and ceremonial objects from ancient rulers.

Visitors reach Lambayeque through Jose Abelardo Quiñones Airport in Chiclayo, with local transportation services connecting to central areas and museums.

Traditional fishermen continue using caballitos de totora, reed vessels dating from pre-Hispanic times, to navigate coastal waters near Lambayeque beaches.
