Their Cruzero coach service goes non-stop to Trujillo. ... It is amazing to think that all those ancient civilisations, like the Chimú whose ruins are next to Trujillo and who conquered the land from the Equadorean border down to Lima (a good 1,000 kilometres), managed to prosper here. ... The coach arrives in Trujillo at 5. ... Trujillo has a different feel from Lima, it is much smaller of course, it prides itself on being the city where independence was devised, it vies with Arequipa for the second spot in the country, and many old colonial buildings are restored and in good shape. ... However beautiful the colonial buildings in Trujillo are, and they are beautiful indeed, they are not as impressive as the archeological sites close to Trujillo, not so much because of what you can actually see but more because of what they represent. ...

Sep 22, 2005 - Trujillo

Trujillo ist eine wunderschoene Stadt im Norden Perus, die einen Besuch auf jeden Fall wert ist: es gibt noch viele Gebaeude aus der Kolonialzeit in unterschiedlichen Farben und mit wunderschoenen Innenhoefen. ... Mal was anderes als immer nur die Staedte, in denen der "Plaza des armas" (Platz der Waffen) die Hauptattraktion darstellt! Neben der Architektur bietet Trujillo auch ein spannendes Nachtleben und jede Menge gute Restaurants, wenn auch etwas teurer als bisher in Peru, d. ... Trujillo, très jolie ville du Nord du Pérou, qui vaut le détour! Tout d'abord la ville en elle-même est pleine de charme: avec ses maisons coloniales de toutes les couleurs, et leurs patios tout aussi charmants, ça nous change des villes qui n'ont pour attraction que leurs "Plaza de armas"! En plus cette ville est très dynamique, il y a toujours de l'ambiance et quelqu'un pour vous accueillir avec un sourire! Il se trouve qu'en plus, en ce moment, c'est la coupe du monde de foot des moins de 17 ans, et ça se passe au Pérou, et aussi à Trujillo. ... On a donc eu droit à un super défilé des équipes de foot internationales dans les rues de la ville, trop drôle (voir les photos)! Moi j'adore la petite reine de la France, très souriante n'est-ce pas?!!! L'avantage de Trujillo aussi, c'est qu'il y a plein de choses à voir dans les alentours! Donc on n'a pas perdu notre temps, et commencé notre visite par le site de Chan Chan, ruines de la cité de la civilisation Chimu (pour vous re-situer, c'est avant les Incas). ... Pas grand chose à voir mis à part les petites embarcations de roseaux, appelées Caballitos de Tortora, et les surfeurs de toutes nationalités! Enfin ça fait toujours du bien, l'air de la mer! On a fini notre séjour à Trujillo par la visite des Huacas del Sol et de la Luna, c'est-à-dire le temple du soleil et celui de la lune (qui doit son nom en comparaison à un site archéologique du Mexique). ...

Sep 13, 2005 - Trijullo-The Ruins of Chan Chan (las ruinas de Chan Chan)

After a long night bus ride from Chiclayo, I arrived in the town of Trujillo, one of the biggest attractions of Northern Peru because of its pre-Inca ruins. ... Today I had the opportunity to explore the ancient Chimu culture whose religious and administrative capital was the city of Chan Chan, modern day Trujillo. ... Chan Chan was the largest pre-Hispanic city in Peru and their magnificence can be seen in the ruins which consists of alters, mazes, shrines, and encircled lakes which mirror that of an oasis in the middle of the desert.After a long night bus ride from Chiclayo, I arrived in the town of Trujillo, one of the biggest attractions of Northern Peru because of its pre-Inca ruins. ...
