Huaca Rajada, Moche archaeological pyramid in Lambayeque department, Peru
The adobe-constructed Huaca Rajada features multiple burial platforms and ceremonial chambers containing elaborate funeral offerings from the Moche civilization.
In 1987, archaeologist Walter Alva discovered the intact tomb of the Lord of Sipan, containing precious metal artifacts dating from 50 to 700 AD.
The burial platforms at Huaca Rajada reveal the social structure of Moche society through ceremonial objects and sacrificial remains found in royal tombs.
The site museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 8 soles for adults and 3 soles for university students.
The excavations unveiled copper alloy objects coated with gold through chemical processes, demonstrating the advanced metallurgy techniques of Moche artisans.
