Chan Chan, Tschudi Palace

Trujillo, Peru
The largest city in pre-Columbian America
Welcome to the archaeological site of Chan Chan, located in the costal desert of Northwestern Peru. The city of Chan Chan was once the capital of the Chimu Civilization and the largest inhabited city in pre-Columbian South American. Just as the Chimu cultivated a relationship with the environment to build a thriving city in the desert thousands of years ago, site managers today are learning how to adapt and overcome climate-change related threats that put the site at risk.
