Trujillo

Trujillo is a sunny city on Peru's northern coast, often called the City of Eternal Spring because of its lovely weather. It sits near ancient ruins from cultures that lived here long before.

Explore the huge mud-brick city of Chan Chan, see temples decorated with ancient art, and try the local dance called marinera in the pretty main square.
