Trujillo

+ Add a Photo

By D

The north of Peru has often been described as the Egypt of South America, due to the abundance of pre-Incan treasures that can be found in this area.

Nestled along the Pacific coast Trujillo is one of Peru's largest cities, with a population of 690,000, and is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in exploring these ancient treasures. Founded in 1534 by Diego de Almagro, and named after the birthplace of Francisco Pizarro, this colonial city was inhabited long before the Spanish arrival. From Trujillo, visitors can travel to the astounding historical landmarks of both the ancient Moche and Chimu cultures. Of particular interest are archaeological sites like Huaca del Sol y Huaca de la Luna, El Brujo, or the mud-brick city of Chan Chan.
