Understand

Chiclayo is one of the liveliest Cities in northern Peru with a population of around 970,000. Perhaps the better Lima being big enough to have supermarkets and still small enough to be manageable without hours spend in city busses. The plazas like Parque Principal or Plazuela Elias Aguirre buzz with life even after sunset.
Get in
- By plane
  
  LAN Peru and Avianca operate flights from Lima (LIM) to Chiclayo (CIX). A taxi should cost PES/2 for the 1km journey into the city centre.
- By bus
  
  All the major bus lines are present in Chiclayo but most have their own terminal spread out over the City.
  Linea is on Av. Bolognesi 638
  One block west of Linea is the Terminal for most north- or eastbound busses.
  Movil is around the corner opposite the Metro supermarket (LP says Av. Bolognesi 199 but I think it is Av. Jose Balta)
  
  From [wiki=4d5d85af33ec2aaedb674d2d6a7d53b6]Ecuador[/wiki], Super Semeria runs a night bus from [wiki=739b1f90a4d8a4b01d5f64ba3a788857]Guayaquil[/wiki] through [wiki=d9d67737a74f3a815b837136b17e3217]Cuenca[/wiki] and along the coast until Chiclayo, arriving at its destination around Noon. Expect between 1.5 to 2.5 hours to cross the border due to the number of other buses using this same border checkpoint. Journey time and cost from Cuenca is $18pp and approx 14 hours (as of Oct 2015).
Get around

Chiclayo is full of Tico taxis. Short journeys cost PES/3. A station would be better if less easy to find to go to Sipan, Ferreñafe, Lambayeque or the beaches PES/15, or Tucume PES/20. Moto taxis cost half the price, are better ventilated, but give less protection.
See

Worlds largest dry forest with his piramids of Lord of Sican, can be visited on horseback. Tipical Peruvian Pasohorses make even the most inexperienced rider feel comfortable. A beautiful way to visit te temples of Lambayeque-Culture. It is possible to stay at the ranch over night
*Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipan - The museum is situated in the center of [wiki=baaeb6f92e52136b2cd9b7bd07b1f7bf]Lambayeque[/wiki] and definitely worth a visit although descriptions are in Spanish mostly. It features most of the treasures of the Sipan tombs together with thorough explanation what the grave looked like and how it was discovered in 1989.
**Entrance fee is 10 S/. Student discount only for national students. Open Tuesday to Sunday 9am - 5pm. No cameras or cell phones allowed inside.
**Collectivos (aka Combis)run frequently (20 minutes, 1.50 S/.). On the corner of Vicente de la Vega and Leonardo Ortiz, in front of the Otursa bus terminal in Chiclayo, there is a collectivo station.

*Túcume - the final capital of the Sicán culture, is 35 kilometers along the old Panamericana from Chiclayo. Archaeologists believe that Túcume was built after the Sicán burnt and abandoned their former capital of Batán Grande around A.D. 1050. The area is commonly referred to as the Valle de las Pirámides, which is easy to understand from the lookout on Cerro Purgatorio, which offers a view over the entire complex. There is a small. uninteresting site museum (9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily). 8 Soles Entrance to both.
**To get local transport to Túcume (1.50 PEN), you have to get to Lambayeque first by taking a combi at Vicente de la Vega and Leonardo Ortiz, in front of the Otursa bus terminal in Chiclayo. Frequent combis run to Túcume from in front of Lambayeque’s market, 2.5 blocks from Museo Tumbas Reales. From the town of Túcume, it is a 15-minute walk or a 2 PEN mototaxi ride.

*Lord of Sipan tomb - The discovery of the Lord of Sipan considered the "King Tutankamon of the Americas", is one of the most spectacular tombs discovered in the western hemisphere. Sipan's treasures show the Moche culture's ability with several metals: gold, silver and copper and precious stones in fine quality and a mastery in metallurgy unrivalled in the Americas, centuries before the Incas.

*Museo Sicán - (Av. Batán Grande, block 9, tel. 074/28-6469, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sun., US$5.50) is 18 kilometers outside of Chiclayo in Ferreñafe. Though unfairly overshadowed by the Museo Tumbas Reales, this modern museum has a fabulous collection of gold objects of the Sicán culture, which succeeded the Moche in A.D. 850 and succumbed to the Chimú in 1375.
** Colectivos to Ferreñafe can be taken from the Terminal de Epsel at the corner of Avenida Oriente and Nicolás de Pierola in Chiclayo.
Do

Mercado Modelo - The Mercado is located just 5 blocks from the Parque Principal (Plaza de Armas), and is open daily from sun-up to sun-down. Here you will find appliances and clothing as well as many natural medicines and herbal remedies. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetable stands around, sopas, almuerzos and ceviche.

*Mercado de Brujos (Witch Market) - (Arica, inside the Mercado Modelo, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. daily). Deep in the market quarters is one row of shops called the witch market (probably second row of shops coming from around Arica #950). Here you will find piles of all the materials used by Peru’s curanderos-shark jaws, deer legs, snakeskins, potions, scents, amulets, and huayruro (jungle beads for warding off a hex). There are heaps of dried mountain herbs and San Pedro cacti, which, when sliced and reduced in boiling water, form a hallucinogenic drink used by shamans-and an increasing number of travelers.

Real Plaza shopping center and Ripley in the city center. Mercado Modelo is a very big market where it´s possible to buy almost anything. It´s crowded and it´s easy to get robbed so be careful.

  Not a backpacker's hostel, but more of a budget hotel. Good location in the city center, 2 steps away from a large supermarket, about a 6 minute walk to the famous City Market, which contains the Witch's Market. If you're traveling solo, you can fairly easily negotiate the price down to 20 Soles for a private room. No hot water; no breakfast or kitchen.
  
  *
  
  *Av Bolgnesi cuadra 9. Just close to CRUZ DEL SUR terminal of buses. Quiet in the center of town:
  
  *Clean rooms with hot water and a CD/cassette player (!). Ask for a room away from the street if that type of noise bothers you at night as the windows are pretty thin here. Wifi works in rooms but signal is definitely strongest in the hallways. No cooking facilities.

Stay safe

The bus companies, hotels & thieves are very central. Do not flash any valuables (such as taking a photo) when walking around this area; it looks safe but there are thieves around.

Pimentel is a fairly unsafe area. Travellers are reported to be robbed there in bright daylight, close to the beach.

Be carefull with the taxi drivers. They will lie to you that your hotel is closed and would want to take you to another one. Don't trust them.

Do not stay at Muchik Hostel (Vicente de la Vega 1127, Chiclayo). The staff has robbed multiple people of goods and cash straight from their wallets when they leave the room for a few minutes or the day. Police have been notified and the hostel has been fined but is still in operation. They do not prosecute theft as a criminal act in Peru so you have no recourse if robbed. The hotel owner and employees deny any theft has occurred but change their story with each new person they meet. Be safe, and stay someone else.

Get out

[url=http://www.transporteslinea.com.pe]Transportes Linea[/url] has hourly buses to [wiki=65fbd9cca8ddbc8b3c7bb9fe40674ab5]Trujillo[/wiki] (3 hours) & on to Lima (11 hours).
* [url=http://www.moviltours.com.pe]Movil Tours[/url] are good value to [wiki=69a7812bd43c42c1e07f4d2c36bfa342]Chachapoyas[/wiki] & [wiki=de094d1f1b08c2382e480e65fdfe80f6]Tarapoto[/wiki].
* Check out the mixed companies terminal on Av Bolognesi (in the adjoining square to Linea) for cheap overnight buses to Lima. Ask about for prices and times but we were able to get a 7pm bus for 40 soles per person (Oct 2015). These aren't the fanciest of buses but if you just want an adequate public transport option along this route then they are fine.
