The name of the city comes from Chidayep and Chiclayoc, words in mochica language which mean “green that hangs”. It was the place where the culture mochica was born in the period of 0-600 B.C. Its foundation took place in 1560, during the colonial period, as a rural house; this lasted until the republic period, when the city started to grow due to its commercial importance and privileged location. Today we can appreciate on the outskirts and museums the legacy of a large culture moche, which dominated the valley centuries before. Declared the “capital of the friendship” for its hospitality, charm and good disposition of the residents, Chiclayo is the place where every traveller who likes history, good food and beaches with a good climate can’t miss.

 

Climate in Chiclayo

In Chiclayo, Peru, the climate is typically warm and very dry with very little rainfall, characteristic of a subtropical desert climate. Temperatures usually range from around 21 °C to 28 °C throughout the year, with mild variations between seasons. The city generally experiences a lot of sunshine and low chances of rain, making the weather pleasant for most outdoor activities. 

The history of the first settlers of the Jaen territory dates from 1000 to 1500 b.C. Proof of it is the human settlements found in the province, where the visitor can appreciate the pottery and archaeological remains that are a sample of the architecture and art of this emerging culture. Those inhabitants were part of tribes who lived in presumable harmony, although the most renowned were the pakamuros (or bracamoros). The name of this tribe comes from the word "pukamoros" (puka = red, muro = pintado), a name given by the Inca Huayna Capac, after being defeated by the bravery of this town of Amazonian roots. The name is also a reference of the red paintings that the inhabitants made on their faces and chest when they went to war or to do a celebration. During the Spanish conquest, the autonomous development of this population was interrupted, ending with the colonization and foundation of the city of Jaen de Bracamoros, in 1549. During the war of Independence, Jaen supported the independence of Trujillo, proclaiming its own independence on June the 4th 1821, and being converted in the crib of Peruvian patriotism. From 1855 Jaen is part of the Cajamarca department.
