PAMPA GRANDE SITE MUSEUM
This museum was built by the local town of Pampa Grande to house artifacts that people had collected over the years. In 2006 the museum was refurbished with funds from the Pampa Grande Archaeological Project and received a new coat of paint with Moche themed drawings. The interior was also redecorated and now displays artifacts from the Moche, Transitional, Lambayeque, Chimú, and Inca cultures.

VISIT PAMPA GRANDE!
Directions to the Pampa Grande and Site Museum: Unfortunately there are no tours to Pampa Grande, so you will have to trek there yourself. From Chiclayo take a taxi to the EPSEL bus station and catch the bus to Pampa Grande (they leave every hour and cost 1-2 soles). The bus ride takes a little over an hour. Ask the bus driver to drop you off near the museum which is located right in front of the entrance to the site.
