After the hike, we rode back to Chancay (pronounced Chan-kei) to have lunch in the castle there. It's hard to describe the castle. I guess you would say it's small theme park, along the lines of Hershey-with no rides, but plenty of places for photo ops, eating and souvenir shopping. Peruvians seem to love posing for pictures, so here we go:

| As you can probably tell, I got a bit of sun while hiking in Lachay! |

| My Juliet picture-in the tower of love |
From what I understand, the idea for this park was based on a real castle and events from the life of a local family...but all the signs were in Spanish, so I might be mistaken. In any case, we had a nice meal and had fun taking pictures and agreed that we would like to return to explore more of historical Chancay in the future.
