2. Visit the Moche Huacas Museum and appreciate the finest utilitarian and ritual ceramics of the Moche people, around 500 ceramics or huacos found in the excavations of the Huacas Sol and Luna since 1990. It is a new and modern museum that will help us understand the past of the Moche in northern Peru.

3. We visited Huanchaco Beach, unique in Peru, where tradition and culture are preserved. Lunch: fish, ceviche, or Creole cuisine (duck, goat, chicken, etc.). The fishermen are people of old who use reed boats for their daily fishing and who offer us an adventure on their rafts.

4. The most amazing place for all tourists is the great mud-brick city of Chan Chan, capital of the Chimú Kingdom, another important culture that flourished in Trujillo and established its center of power in Chan Chan, which covers 24 square kilometers and comprises 10 palaces and temples. We walked through the Nikan Palace, one of the 10 palaces open to the public. Take a stroll, enjoy, and experience walking through pre-Incan cities.

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.
