Anyone been to the Temples of the Sun and Moon? I am wondering if they are worth the cost (they are not "free" excursions - will cost us $100+ each). I've been to Machu Picchu and some other interesting archealogical sites before, so I am looking for advice...

Cindy, We went there on a tour during our Mariner Circle South America. The tour itself was a mixed bag. The site of Temples of Sun and Moon seemed to be extraordinary, but we only had 15 minutes there! We were disappointed but it was the last stop of a long day and we had run out of time. We took the Ancient Palaces, Colonial City and Temples to the Sun and Moon tour. We went to Chan Chan early in the day and it was amazing as well, but more of a scale and size factor, whereas there appeared to be more detail preserved and the Temple of the Moon. I guess I am saying you might want to choose carefully depending on what you most want from the tour. Here is a link to our blog entry for that day. I do have pasted into the blog entry of the day before our tour description. Good luck, Debbie

Thanks Debbie - this is very helpful! I am also enjoying reading the rest of your blog and looking at the pictures. Thanks again for the reply.
