About Trujillo
Trujillo is a colonial city on Peru's north coast, with colourful mansions, the vast adobe ruins of Chan Chan and the reed-boat beach of Huanchaco.
Trujillo lies on Peru's arid northern coast, founded by the Spanish in 1534, and its centre keeps a grid of colonial streets around the Plaza de Armas. Pastel-painted mansions with wrought-iron balconies and carved window grilles face the plaza, beside the cathedral, and the city is called the City of Eternal Spring for its mild, sunny climate. The marinera, an elegant courtship dance, is celebrated here in a national festival.
Top-ranked sights in Trujillo: Chan Chan, Temples of Moche (Huacas del Sol y de la Luna), Huanchaco.
