Trujillo Peru

Trujillo is a large metropolis in the northern coast of Peru. Trujillo is a friendly, colonial city and one of the main economic and cultural centres of northern Peru. Very near the city you will find numerous and wonderful archaeological monuments of the Mochica and Chimú cultures, outstanding Chan Chan's citadel, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Trujillo is a city of rich colonial architecture and many archaeological and historical sites and museums. The Plaza de Armas, the city’s main square, in Trullijo is one of the biggest in Peru. Nearby Plaza de Armas, you’ll find Trujillo’s beautiful cathedral. Beaches near Trujillo, such as Huanchaco, are ideal, not just because of the superb local seafood or the cool sea breeze, but also for the great offer of adventure sports and local flair. Huanchaco is a picturesque fishing cove where one can find the ancient craft that appeared on Mochica pottery and friezes at Chan Chan.Trujillo gets usually overlooked in favour of other places in Peru. But Trujillo does have a fair bit going for it, a number of nearby ruins, a cosmopolitan yet manageable feel to the city, and easy access to nearby beaches and ruins. It makes for a nice diversion and in some ways more genuine Peru experience.
