Thursday - to the more interesting ruins of two pyramids (Huacas). Built of various layers of relief frescoed stories in which a King was buried and then the next layer built on top

Friday - I went to Chiclayo .., but it was just a busy city so I went 15 Km north to the Bruning Museum a well laid out explanation of ancient Pervian cultures.
I went to the pyramids at Tucume , but actually because most areas were closed off it wasn't as interesting as the museum
There were no hotels in Tucume so I ended up at the village of Motupe where I found there was a festival going on so I decided to stay.

Saturday - stayed in Motupe. I followed the people as they carried a holy cross 10 Km up a nearby hill to a sacred shrine ..in fact the festival was not so interesting, I'm not into all that Catholic stuff or the tacky Chicha music at the dances in the evening

Sunday - There was a lack of transport , but I eventually got to Piura . Which was clean and OK , but no so interesting . I took a quick look at the nearby village of Catacaos, but this wasn't so interesting either so I took the night bus to Tumbes

onto Ecuador
