Capital of the pre-Inca culture, the Chimu developed on the northern coast of Peru, a culture rich in fine goldsmithing, monumental architecture, pyramidal constructions, such as the 26 pyramids of Tucume, Chimu culture that flourished between 1000 to 1200 after JC.<\/p>\r\n

In Chimu language, Chan Chan means “Shining Sun”.<\/p>\r\n
