Is Chiclayo walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, central Chiclayo is flat and walkable. The Plaza de Armas, Cathedral, Mercado Modelo, and the Witch Market sit close together.

For nearby sites, colectivos marked Lambayeque go to the Museo Tumbas Reales, and minibuses signed Túcume leave from streets around the market for the pyramids. For an easy day to Sipán and Túcume, consider a private tour in Chiclayo.
