David Cromack, British Journalist from the Bird Watching magazine had an amazing experience, when a "Pava Aliblanca" sat on his head. "I didn't know what to do, how I could say that I had pushed a bird in extinction danger. David, along with a group of journalists from Canada, USA and England visited our country invited by Promperu, to participate in the first press trip to visit the Northern Circuit for nature experts and bird watchers. According to the group, in the 9 day visit, they were able to observe more than 250 different bird species, a real record for this type of trips, but very small considering that Peru offers more than 1800 bird species, more than all Europe and the US put together.

Large ceremonial complex discovered in Trujillo
After 13 years of studies, researchers have uncovered the Huaca Cao Viejo, a Mochica temple located in Chocope, Trujillo. The walls of this Moche ceremonial complex have been entirely reconstructed, with carved figures of fish and animals. However, the face of the main figure, the Beheader God, is still kept under wraps and cannot be reconstructed, which has contributed to the air of mystery surrounding the complex. The complex, the largest discovered to date, was the site of propitiatory and sacrificial rituals. The discovery is an important contribution to the study of the Moche culture, as it sheds light on the characteristics of the region. Researchers say construction of the ceremonial complex began at the dawn of Christianity and carried on until the eight century AD.
