Trujillo

After spending a few days in Cajamarca, i decided to head to Trujillo. One of the most important cities of Peru, and for a long time was the most beautiful colonial city in the country. Its facades with its windows, with beautiful cause. It seems to give a very different andausian air to this city, located a few kilometers from the sea, that already feels the air, with a smell of the sea.




Its main square is a boldness of beauty, very well preserved around her. Not only are there the main public agencies, but the most important shops and hotels.
Even today, upon entering these old large houses, one revives the old years.




Famous not only for their facades, Trujillo has a deserved reputation for its 'Cebiches'. Cebiches prepared with the most fresh fish and seafood. Originating from the waters that bathe the coasts of Peru in these latitudes.




Prehaps the secret of such a tasty dish, is the result of passion and tradition that remains with the fishermen of the nearby town of Huanchaco.




When everday, on the back of their seahorses or Horses of Totora, a group of men, lovers of the sea, and their art, go to sea to the give the greatest respect and extract its treasures. Treasures that become delicious delicacies.






But not all is eating and walking. Therefore halfway between Trujillo and Huanchaco, under the sands of the desert that hugs the coast, you encounter the largest adobe city in the world; Chan Chan. Built by the Chimu empire between its labyrinths and passages, hidden behind its walls, you can appreciate the ornamental and decorative elements in ther various rooms that make up these buildings.
