Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Trujillo.
Trujillo, capital of the La Libertad region on the north coast of Peru, holds the legacy of two pre-Inca cultures: the Chimú, with the adobe city of Chan Chan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Moche, with the Huacas of the Sun and the Moon. Its colonial centre, of coloured mansions around the Plaza de Armas, completes the cultural profile.
Huanchaco, a fishing resort very close by, adds beach, surf and the traditional caballitos de totora reed craft. In a programme Trujillo is part of the archaeological route of the north, together with Chiclayo and Lima, as a stop of two nights.
Trujillo is a year-round destination, with a mild climate, frequent sunshine and almost no rain. The southern summer, from December to March, is hotter and the best beach season in Huanchaco; in winter there may be mist and cooler temperatures, without affecting archaeological visits. Open-air sites should be scheduled for the morning.
Trujillo is a medium-sized city with an urban offer that can serve corporate meetings and medium-sized incentive groups; for large congresses, capacity should be checked with the local supplier. Its advantage is the cultural content and the proximity of sites and beach, which allow half-day programmes after the sessions.
Credible experiences include a guided visit to Chan Chan and the Huaca de la Luna, a dinner in a mansion in the colonial centre, a walk around Huanchaco with the caballitos de totora reed craft and a northern cookery class with ceviche. A display of the marinera, the city's traditional dance, can also be added.
Access is via Trujillo airport (TRU), with connections from Lima; air operations should be checked by season. By road, the Northern Pan-American Highway links the city with Lima in a long day and with Chiclayo in about three hours. The archaeological sites and Huanchaco are reached on short transfers from the city.
Plan 2 nights for the archaeological sites, the historic centre and Huanchaco. Combines with Chiclayo, Lima and the north coast in an archaeological circuit. Suits cultural and archaeology markets, and clients who already know Cusco and seek another view of pre-Columbian Peru.
Recommended stay: 2 nights.
