Huanchaco
V!VA User‘s Description
Just 14 km north of the popular tourist town of Trujillo is Huanchaco, a laid-back beach town that is definitely worth the trip for anyone seeking a respite from the rigors of travel. According to Chimú mythology, this peaceful fishing village was the landing-spot of Takaynamo, the founder of the ancient empire who supposedly ordered the construction of the famous mud-brick city of Chan Chan around 1200 AD.
