HUACA ARCO IRIS
(Rainbow Temple; admission free with Chan Chan ticket)
Also known locally as Huaca del
Dragón, this temple is in the suburb of La Esperanza, about 4km northwest of Trujillo.
Dating from the 12th century, it is one of the best preserved of the Chimú temples -
simply because it was buried under sand until the 1960s.
