The story

Festival Internacional de la Primavera Chiclayo in Chiclayo

Chiclayo's International Spring Festival brings a civic parade, folk dance performances and a Spring Queen pageant to the northern coastal city each September, celebrating the region's Moche and Lambayeque cultural heritage.

Chiclayo sits in Peru's northern coastal desert, a modern commercial hub built near some of the country's most significant pre-Hispanic archaeological sites, including the tombs of the Lord of Sipan and the pyramids of Tucume, legacies of the Moche and Sican cultures that flourished in the region centuries before Spanish arrival.
