Photo: The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum, where the remains of the Lord of Sipán as well as around 800 pieces of gold and copper ornaments and textiles are on exhibit since the official opening in November 8, 2002. On three floors are displayed not only the jewels and the remains of the Lord of Sipán but also replicas of the tombs found in Huaca Rajada. In the rear of the Museum, the descendants of the Moche culture can be seen while they work with the same materials and the same techniques as their ancestors.

The reserve MANU NATIONAL PARK covers the entire watershed of the Manu River, running across an extraordinary range of altitudes, running from 4,300 m. above sea level in the high Andean plain down to 200 meters in the Amazon Basin. The area is home to dozens of tribes: Mahuaca, Huachipaire, Machiguenga, Piro, Yora, and Yaminahua- as well as others that have yet to make contact with the outside world. The park is also a haven for more than 20,000 plant varieties, 1,200 butterfly species, 1,000 bird species, 200 species of mammals and an unknown quantity of reptiles, amphibians and insects. There are wide varieties of tropical habitats with endemic species of plants and animals.
