Located 640 km north of Lima and 250 km north of Trujillo, Chiclayo, also known as the Capital de la Amistad (Capital of Friendship), is the capital of Lambayeque department. It is a vital communication node between the costa, the northern sierra (road connecting Chota to Cajamarca) and the selva (axis going from Jaén to Bagua Grande). The city, restless and hot all year round (temperatures ranging from 19 to 36 °C), has kept nothing of its architectural past. The main reason for coming here is to discover the tomb of the Señor de Sipán. Its most important celebrations are the anniversary of its foundation (18 April) and the Feria artesanal (2 to 9 December).
