Museum in Piura

V!VA User‘s Description

Piura may not offer quite as many options of things to do as other cities in Peru, but what it does offer may not be thrilling, but it will prove to be entertaining.

There is a small selection of Museums in town which can waste an afternoon or two. A walk in the Plaza de Armas also proves entertaining. It is a wonderful place to find a bench and watch the locals continue on their daily business.

There area also day trips available from the town of Piura. One of the most popular is to the Catacaos, where you can see and buy crafts made out of hay, cotton, gold and silver. Another popular destination is the archaeological remains of Narihualá, which is what is left of the Tallan culture. Chulucanas is alsorenowned for its ceramics.
