Chan Chan was the capital of the Chimu kingdom, it's the largest Pre-Columbian city in South America, this archaeological site located to 5 Km west of Trujillo. The walls themselves were constructed of adobe brick, and were then covered with a smooth surface into which intricate designs were carved. You can only visit one of ten walled citadels which composed this magic city.
Hoy fui a Chan Chan muchos años después, fue una interesante visita :)

Is the city covered by a glass dome? Or is that simply a model of Chan Chan.
