Huaca de la Luna

Huaca de la Luna is made of adobe who is ubicated at the northern part of Peru in the department of La Libertad, 5 Km south of  Trujillo. It was built by the Mochica culture hundreds of years ago. It is located near La Huaca del Sol that was also built by the Mochica culture. We think that this huaca was built for the moon because we for the Mochicas the moon was a more important god than the sun because they saw that the moon appeared day and night when the sun only appeared in the day. I think that this huaca was used in honor of the moon. For me the huaca is a very nice place because I like the paintings in there and its structure.
