+ Add a Photo

V!VA User‘s Description

As one of Peru's largest cities, Trujillo has a wide variety of activities within and surrounding the city to keep even the most stir crazy toursist entertained.

In Trujillo, there is its Plaza de Armas, where you can see the locals of Trujillo wander about this quaint park. Also within Trujillo are a couple of museums, including Museo de Juguete and Museo de Arqueología. The colonial mansions are also worth a visit, many have been maintained and give you a sense of what things were like here hundreds of years ago.

Outside of Trujillo there are many archaeological sites that are worth a visit. El Brujo and the mud-brick city of Chan Chan are, in particular, wonderful sites.
