The North Coast and Northern Highlands Feature

Condor Travel and Guía Tours both organize tours to the ruins around Trujillo. Clara Bravo and Michael White are great guides for Trujillo, and also lead trips farther afield. Sipán Tours is one of Chiclayo's best tour companies for trips to the Tomb of Señor Sipán.

There are many tour companies in Huaraz; Monttrek is among the best, arranging rafting, trekking, and mountain-climbing expeditions. Clarín Tours is said to be one of Cajamarca's best. In Piura, call Piura Tours.

In Chachapoyas, contact Vilaya Tours. The company arranges tours to Kuélap, as well as to the remote ruins of Gran Vilaya, which requires a 31-km (19-mi) hike, and to the Pueblo de Los Muertos, which requires a 23-km (14-mi) hike.
